Gestures do not the poet make
Nor response the welcome word
The mind may play trick
And the eyes see visions
But the heart will know the truth
See with the mind
Speak with the heart
And listen with the soul
There will be no conflict

No meditation reaches above the heart
But deep within the soul
And there is nothing as erotic as the naked heart
We dream our dreams
And have our fantasies
But few are ever realized
Love found my heart in the flower of youth
Sowed its seed deep within a yielding heart
And still that seed grows fair and strong

Childhood for me held much pain
With mother's love from me restrained
father's lavish affection thwarted
by mother's jealous hate
But love did flower in my garden
At 15 I learned passion's lessons
And that peaceful love my heart knows still

Passion burns even the coldest of hearts to burn
Simplicity to soothe the turmoil
For to give love one must first
Know and love oneself
Then love so forthright and true will be yours
