If You Wonder Why


you have my heart
its very breath
a life without
is dancing death
the bridge between
oceans wide
you are the calm
within the tide
finger prints that have
stained my skin
inside a soul
echo within
you are my want
my very desire
my words for you
my inspire

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

Dear 1slick_lady,

This one works for me right up to the last line.  I'd think about that last line.  It's presently kinda hanging out there.

This is beautiful, Helen...
