Open your eyes
     See the love I have to give
Open your arms
     Hold me close for as long as I live
                    Open your mind
                         Remember that I am yours and you are mine
                    Open your heart
                         Know that I'll love you for all time
Open your mouth
     Tell me you'll love me forever
Open your hands
     We will always walk together
                    Open your spirit
                         Feel the love that I have for you
                    Open your soul
                         Our love is the pallate, full of wonderful hues

Open your eyes and see
          Open your mind and remember
Open your arms and hold
          Open your heart and know
Open your mouth and tell
          Open your spirit and feel
Open your hands and walk
          Open your soul and paint

Paint our love, a work of art
                      a work of art is our love
                                    art is our love, love is our life
                                                         love is our life, you are my love

Sven, this is fantastic...it could be a song...set to strumming guitars...
very beautiful words in this one.
take care, jm

 The stars shine so bright, now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face,
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close.
Now I will reach for the stars...
Because Oh my love, that's where you are...
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine
And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea...

A very beautiful poem, from a beautiful poet.
