When did you last feel loved?
Was it while touring the fresh garden
Or out driving on a cool summer night?
Was it in watching the leaves change color
...

Once, I was a dancer in the garden
And going back to be is a dream that comes
When the fragrance of musk and sweat,
The hands stroking my skin, reminds me of what came before:
...

Some say love is an ocean
That encourages one to explore.
Some say love is the void inside
That leaves one searching for more.
...

Human
Heart, soul
Dreaming, wanting, finding
Work in progress
...
