Love is bearing down on me
There is no distance
within eternity
when it's the big you
and the little me
Taking a chance
time treats you tenderly
I stroke your cheek
I strike your heart
My loving gaze
a scribbled course to chart
Golden cracks of turquoise tears
laughter chants
speed up the years
to subdue true melancholy
May I have this dance
for humanity
For what is born in darkness
is nothing but light
Resenting the harness
that keeps us from being free
Pernicious specters of antiquity
know how to keep their distance
