Favorite Quote:
Trust your heart if the seas catch fire. Live by love though the stars walk backward. -EE Cummings


we dreamed as if to be the moon

and all the stars were our delight

we loved with an everlasting caution

and we lifted in joyous flight

 

whence past the sun a blare

and whilst among the burning lights

we joined our hands together and sang

of the reflect and shadows bright

 

the small planet beneath us sweetly

it awaited us upon our return

but onward and without thought we go

forwards and for words our hearts did burn

 

we searched our souls only to find them

past half the moon and beyond the stars

our journey would not stop for never

we could venture out too far

 

of course my dear whom I love so

your face glows more than the moon

and with you my heart swells more than the sun

let us look (and) 'gain for we shall return soon

 

back past the moon cast with blue

who lights the sky when the sun cannot

it is my pleasure to rest you in bed safely

your heart went flying with us-- and it I caught

 

I kiss you tenderly as you close your eyes

I know beneath the dark inside you see me

and reflections of the moon and stars and galaxies

I smile at your sleeping face because of me dreaming you'll be

 

I walk to the window leaving you behind

I gaze upon our small infinity whence we were

not so long ago yet it feels as so

I left a part of me up there and so did you I'm sure
