I'm searching now, seeking out
the falling stars that can teach me
to breathe,
this wanting that takes me inevitably to your door.

You song has seduced me,
your language has unearthed
familiar sweet memory,
a man I have loved over and over.

Something I withheld has made me weak,
yet these fragile words, inarticulate,
force me out of my right mind
and into yours, suffering in the tenderness
of that long, lonely kiss.

In your late night bedroom silence,
when you're stretched restless in the dark,
am I?

Are you quite sure you're not forty years old?  LOL....

"Something I withheld has made me weak.."

and the final lines:

"In your late night bedroom silence,
when you're stretched restless in the dark,
am I?"

Did it again, lovie...you post 'em, I'll read 'em...fabulous.
