I'd love not to care or
bring to bear all the wisdom
collected from dusty corners
and snowy peaks
but what chance
does a lifetime of experience
stand
against a moment
of the heart's longing...


*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-


Now
you are truly naked
Now
you have finally stopped
making sense
Now you can ignite the world
with a gentle touch
of your loving hands
Now you are dangerous
in your infinite tenderness
fierce
in your meekness
passionately burning
in quiet contentment
Now your melodies
can summon angels
and demons
to dance together
in ecstatic embrace
Now
you are making me dizzy
like a fool holding a match
in front of a volcano
Now
when I say I love you
I can say it like the drop
that finally hit
the ocean.
