Somewhere in the night Someone will cry Waiting for love to die Neon lights won’t illuminate Darkened streets where aimless souls, Masses of flesh await Filling little vacant holes They won’t hesitate Shiny diamonds of dirty glass Sparkle once and once only Fading in twilight fast A little lost and lonely, But too bright to last So much given away too soon Can never be retrieved Where once begged for highest noon, Now all are grieved With a fainting swoon Somewhere in the night Someone did cry Waiting for love to die |

Ah, my friend, conceive any moment where life lives.... You've earned it; you deserve a breathe. I know you're tired...living in the land of some of those who've lost; but yet, you live! Carpe diem! |

So sad, dear J., love lives whether we are aware of it or not. Love IS. You wrote so powerfully about the pain of the heart, as it struggles in the dark. Love, Margherita |

CG, This reminds me of an empty city street at night. I feel this way when I see a rainy street with lone car lights reflected on its surface. A |
