Poets have long
ached to veil desire
in flowery coverings
to transform emotion
into art.
But what’s more
boldly inspired
than a heart,
naked,
crying out
for you?
Faith, Health, and Other Musings
May our minds flourish with creation, and may our hands never deny its expression.
Poets have long
ached to veil desire
in flowery coverings
to transform emotion
into art.
But what’s more
boldly inspired
than a heart,
naked,
crying out
for you?
I can’t help
but to look
at you
and think
nothing has ever
looked better
on me.
Without your touch,
I forget my place.
And I find my world barren
absent your embrace.
Without you, I am lonely
with a loneliness that kills.
But with you, darling,
I’m lonelier still.
But how much
ribbon
does it take
to make ends meet?
Unmerited love
and joy unforeseen,
in the glow of your fire,
my soul is evergreen.
May peace reign
and harmony fill the halls;
may our hopes rise
as the glittering snow falls.
I used to read
romance novels
in a fit of fantasy,
living through the characters,
indulging in their dalliance.
Now I read them
as a sort of tragedy;
tales of two lovers
who will never experience
that look in your eyes.
She’s a brilliant moon
and, oh,
how I long for the night.
