Always kiss me goodnight
No matter where you are.
And I will kiss you in my mind
Waiting for the nights to come,
...
Hope for a new beginning, headed who knows where?
No need to hope I will round each bend with you –
I’ll be there
...
If beauty was earned by caring,
you could not be more beautiful.
If beauty was earned by strength of spirit,
you could not be more beautiful.
...
A dream deferred doesn’t have to be a dream denied
Not now can be best, when not ever is the alternative
Timing is everything – just ask Juliet
We can strike while the iron is hot in the white heat of youth
...
I want to watch a Tuscan sunset with you
from the balcony of our room, then
make love to you for hours as the twilight dies slowly away
...
Stability with a lustrous shine
A hint of preciousness
Coursing through the stuff of life
...
I want to watch you sleep
watch you let go of the last small measure of control
Surrender the last notion of care –
Care for the watching and the watched
...
I want to watch you wake -
watch you return to self;
As reason replaces abandon,
Awareness flirts with self-consciousness
...
I can picture lying in a hammock with you, watching the seasons change
The catenary curve cradling us together.
The hash marks tattooing our skin are a small price to pay for our cocoon.
