… but you did.
the fool i am…
I am only responsible for my own heart,
you offered yours up for the smashing my darling.
Only a fool would give out such a vital organ.
– Anaïs Nin –
before the fever breaks…
It is often when night looks darkest, it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change, when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy.
– Hilary Clinton –
happy birthday…
in spite of…
after the curtain falls
and secrets begin
you look for the one you love
giving all you have
from what little you have left
dance with her, my love
dance with her and sing
and the curtain falls
after sighs begin
you hold the one you love
washing the night away
with wishes upon a star
dance with me, my love
dance with me and sing
when the curtain falls
and silence begins
even oceans have shorelines
and sandcastles are forever after
in this, a final bow
dance, my love
dance, my love and sing
