Words from the heart for love and for life. The poetic stuff.

                             Words, Wide Night



                             Somewhere on the other side of this wide night
                             and the distance between us, I am thinking of you.
                             The room is turning slowly away from the moon.


                             This is pleasurable. Or shall I cross that out and say
                             it is sad? In one of the tenses I singing
                             an impossible song of desire that you cannot hear.


                             La lala la. See? I close my eyes and imagine
                             the dark hills I would have to cross
                             to reach you. For I am in love with you and this


                             is what it is like or what it is like in words.
