Why is it when I close my eyes I see you
And when I’m standing alone I feel you
Why do I think of your eyes through the day?
Why do I wish for your voice just to say?

Am I a slave to your grace?
Why am I willing to throw my life away?
Should I not be so gay?
As when my love I see your face

Why your skin does call to me
Why your lips do look so sweet
Why your words do comfort me
Why your charm does pull me in

How can I be so revived?
Are you not my love in white?
You’re dancing as if a winded kite
Why do you keep my mind in flight?

Am I not a man so cold?
Your eyes do indicate to scold
Yet are my words as they’re old
My eyes too seem to have a hold

Let go of boys and grab a man
Why not just take me, just take my hand
And come and walk with me to lands
Where we will live to see the grand

If desired we seek adventure
And live a life a thousand times
So measured in the actions bind
Will we wander to actions find

All this love should be for you and me
If love does come then love will be
Your love should start by living free
Will you end a love, to love for me?

‘Tis hard and sad to ask of this
For loss is easy to attain
But to gain my love you will not miss
Your pressent love is like the ever-unblooming flower

But my love is perfect for your blossom
With warmth and rains of peace
And light that’s bright will never cease
A more perfect setting there cannot be
And as I love can you love me

Beautifully said.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."
