I’m eating wonder bread If only for a moment which can feed a lifetime In high altitude orbits Drifting like, the only force that matters Fibers of pink cover our faces With a quality of life Winking as we listen to afternoon Finding ourselves in imagined conversation Twilight typing memoirs Roses in full bloom Wearing white summer cloths Tip toeing over anorexic mists Hunching forward Wanting more In the world for you There, look, the hills waiting Calling your name in lights I smiled, while you whizzed by For a moment, forgetting where I was going But loving where you reached Loving watching you… Which is what I’d rather do Then climb into your boat Like they say “Every word considers, the next to come” Oh, darling, if you only knew How I love passing by our ancestral portraits Every night when I think of you… Pausing for a moment Knowing the happy dining room You now live in Yes, I pace sometimes till dawn But, you’ll never know, I’ll never let you… You see, those polite lil emissaries Keep sighs which breath softly… We were never meant to be Your happiness glows me…. And I promise, yours before mine And I love you for it….your success The flesh and beauty around your eyes Holding close the precious flowers you gave me The soft darkness and music of the night A duet which glances behind Yes, your power over me, sings inside me Wishing you were here again…. God lives in all the invisible lines…doesn’t He? Inspired by the Phantom of the Opera |

A duet which glances behind Yes, your power over me, sings inside me Fantastic lines, dear Lee. I will have to see this movie as you have been so deeply inspired. Love, Margherita |

saw it on broadway walked out; husband couldnt take the singing anyhow, i'd never walk out on one of your poems, too much for the senses to indulge in |
