THE STRING
__________
It joins me to you
through time and space
something to hold when
I can't see your face
When it is quiet
and the day is done
across the miles
our hearts beat as one

My Heart Never Sleeps
Even when my eyes close......
My heart never sleeps
It always beats hard and strong to your song
Even when my mind is at rest....
My heart never sleeps
It brings me dreams of your loveliness
Even when my world turns to stress......
My heart never sleeps
It creates a calm center to the storm with an image of your face
Even when I think there is no hope.....
My heart never sleeps
It shows me your light to guild me from my darkness

i love the way your smile lights up your face
like the sun lights the summer sky
i love the way your eyes shine
like a full moon on a cloudless night
i love the way you love fills my heart
like water fills the sea
i love the way your love makes feel
like i am the king of this whole damn place

love
____
I love you,
Not for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out:
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
and passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimley seeing there
and for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not reproach
But a song
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
to make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch
Without a word
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being your self
Perhaps that is what
being a friend means
After all

Night
_____
the night cries
two lovers
seperated by miles...
but still touching
souls bonded
bodies alone
existance is a cocktail
sadness and joy
