For seven days and seven nights
The sun rose up and fell again
But while the stars spun round our heads
The moon was always on the wane.
...
Each of your eyes is like a priceless pearl
Of midnight colour smoothed by ocean swirl
Held to the sea on a cloudless night
With a full moon halo of reflected light.
...
I wish I was a better man,
I know that I fall short
For all the things that I have done
Have so far come to naught.
...
My New York girl,
So sweet and kind,
I cannot keep you
From my mind.
...
Today was much like any other
I did not plan to stop and pray
But what on earth are men to do
When angels walk on by their way?
...
One day fate will find us
Two hearts will be sure
Three words I will whisper
Like none did before.
...
In Keller grows a flower
The rarest of its kind
Its most exquisite beauty
The like you'll never find.
...
So many times I touched your hand,
As mornings woke and day broke in.
Long arms the tone of finest sand,
My fingers grazed the softest skin.
...
Sometimes it rains in deserts,
Sometimes it snows in June,
Sometimes a burning sun
Is cooled behind the moon.
...
Why do I write this poem, this day,
With the morning sky bright, and the world on its way?
Do I not have, better things I should do,
Than sit here and idle this poem for you?
