I love to see your bright smile,
when you greet others; who you beguile,
with your charm and a sweet hello
For me it is why I love you so.
A love coming from what I see
a love of life; a love so platonically.

She
stands alone
with hands all clenched,
into fists.
Nails dug into flesh,
as tears course down her cheeks
and thinks of him,
now gone,
away from her,
forever.

Dancing through Midnight.
Dancing until dawn.
No sleep tonight.
Too young to yawn.
Working all day.
Then going to meet,
My friends, once more,
For the pleasant treat,
Dancing again, until dawn,
Followed by a collapse
Into the warmth of bed,
Sleeping the long sleep,
The sleep of the dead.

Let me sip the nectar
From a hundred silver cups.
Let me taste, the honey,
Produced by all the Bees.
Let me live today, like
Tomorrow will never come.
After I have lived and loved,
With no remorse or sorrow,
Perhaps the love I've shared
Will bring a new tomorrow,
With many a bright beginning,
For in loving, you will find,
Another day for more giving.

Softly, so very softly,
I say your name
to faceless people
and no one listens.
Alone, in a darkened room,
sits a unhappy man,
surrounded by his frustrations,
lying at his feet.
Rising above this state of mind,
seeing beauty, as it's meant to be,
talking, loving, touching people
with his life.
He becomes a better person, through loving
and by saying,
"Softly, so very softly,
I say your name,
to faceless people
and no one listens,"
except for me.
