Kissing Apollo.....(Photo by Sheila Metzner)

I would absolutely give you the moon but it's not mine to give, I would plant flowers on your pillow but that's not where they live. I would learn to speak to birds and ask them to sing your favourite song, but bird is not on duo lingo and I have a much greater tongue.

I would break off a piece of a star so that you always have light, but I'm only human and my hands cannot reach that height. Therefore I give you my heart, it lives within me, it's the greatest thing I can offer, and you will never need a key.

I’ve met with your shadows, and I don’t mind them

we all learn to dance with devils somewhere along the way to heaven

you’re not a fallen angel but everything about you feels holy

even the parts you cast away, I’ll take it

I’ll kiss the insecurities ‘til you're naked

your love could never hurt me

not when you’re the one I prayed for when I was young

someone must have listened

maybe I’ll meet them one day

I see it as the trees wink at me, the universe knows something

they know I need your light

from sun to midnight

as we grow towards each other like flowers

finding their hands, don’t fall

over, I’ll help you stand

hush, I’m right here. Simply ask

our love can be slow, but my heart

my heart is

fast.
