This world is jam- packed with hurt;
          send a calming wind, my sweet,
          where we find to talk is our home
          for that moment, fingers reaching
          for fingers, to stroke, to look into
          our eyes and see love, utter love.

We're exiled into a world within a world;
          finding peace and true contentment,
          confessing our inner selves, holding
          what needs to be held, letting go what
          can only damage us, and the free will
          to find that exposed will to love.

I must agree about you getting better and better, and your writing is improving too
You have such a romantic heart my friend, you would soften even then the coldest heart of stone. I would file this one under Special!
