Ah love, sweet love, thy presence brings mine
heart to rush.  A torrent rages twixt the ribs of
rising chest.  I am blind, for I see nothing but
thee.

My cup fills slowly with thy wine of lips savored
in a tender blink of mine eyes.   My breath cools
not, for each rise of my chest brings closer
a trace of your softness.

A garden lies before thee, where vines wind
softly and slowly upon the trellis of your limbs.
And with each dawn, the curl of them shall bring
a dew to sprinkle the cool pond’s waters..

Will not thy spoken word search to hear?  Or wilt
thy speech fall deaf upon the leaves where thee once
lay beside me?  I wait for thee my precious
jewel,  thy polished sheen squints the hunger of
mine eyes.

The morrow brings death our moon and whence the
tip does touch our earth I will speak only of you.
For in my heart Nirvana lies and therein rests my
soul for thee.

The Bard lives - you bring such old world grace to the romance of your words - love it

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
