A thousand kisses upon your treasured lips A thousand whispers in the dark like this And still I'm not satisfied A thousand prayers for a chance to wish These feelings not be denied It's too late to turn back now, Nor would I, even if I knew how For the sun returns to the sky, And I have given all my heart will allow, Yet I do not question why A voice like a flower's fragrance so sweet, A chance to fall in love again when we meet That's what I see beyond the door As I stand upon my frozen, aching feet; I'm not tired, but want you more A thousand times a thousand days, And I would love you a thousand ways |

I love the ending couplet. Beautiful! It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

Absolutely beautiful...reminds me in a way of one of mine Hold me a thousand times one for each teardrop my eyes have shed Kiss me a thousand kisses one for each heartache my heart has felt Rock me to sleep a thousand nights one for each night I dreamed of you And love me a thousand years one for all the years I will love you |

I'm sorry I never read that one. They are similar. That is so weird. Eerie even. |
