OPTIMISTIC:
MAY SEEKER BE FINDERS
MAY WISHERS BE ACHIEVERS
AND FRIENDS BE LOVERS
AND MAY WE END AS ONE
IN A KISS
TENDER NIGHT:
YOU ARE THE PASTE THAT DAZZLES ME WHITE
YOU ARE THE WATER THAT WASHES ME PURE
AND THE BLANKET THAT KEEPS ME WARM
YOU ARE THE SUN THAT SAYS GOOD MORNING
YOU ARE THE MOON THAT KISSES THE GOOD NIGHT
AND YOU ARE THE STARS THAT WISH ME SWEET DREAMS
REASONS:
YOUR PRESENCE IS WHY MY EYES SEE
YOUR VOICE IS WHY MY EARS LISTEN
YOUR BREATH IS WHY MY LUNGS RESPIRE
YOUR BLOOD IS WHY MY HEART BEATS
AND YOUR LOVE IS WHY I LOVE.
AS FOR LOVE:
LET ME BE OF GUILT
IF INNOCENCE IS A FACTOR
MAKE THEE RIPE
SO THY GRAPES MAY DRIP OF VINE
LET I BE PRISONER
IF FREEDOM WILL NOT LET IT BE
STARVE ME OF ALL WATERS
SO I MAY THIRST FOR YOUR LOVE
LET I TO THE BRIM FILL OF IMPURITY
SO IN THEE I MAY FIND PURITY
LET ME BE IT
SO IT MAY BE
HELPLESS:
I AM SMALL AND LITTLE
UNDER HER PALMS OF VIGOR
I AM SLOW AND WEAK
UNDER HER HOT CRUEL WINDS AND I STRUGGLE IN MY
HAUNTED HOUSE
AS IT IS A
I AM CRANED OUT OF THY SAND BED OF REST
AND BLINDED IN THE
I AM OUT OF HER NET THAT TEARS DO WET
A WISH TO A BLOUSING STORM
IS ALL I CAN MAKE FOR I AM ONLY AN ACHE
IN HER BACK OF HATE
AS I AM NOT A MATE
BUT ONLY A WEEVIL
IN MY WATCHING NEST.
