Adoration

There she is,
I watch her.

She smiles,
She laughs,
She speaks,
She loves!

Heart like a rose,
Soul like water,
Spirit sprouting free.

It can only be her,
It can only be she!
 

Wanting

Hello! Are you there?
Somewhere? 
Anywhere?

Your welcoming face drowned,
Your happy eyes trapped under constricting pain,
Your body's bedrock soft and sedative,
Your heart dimly jaded,
Your soul's well exhausting drop by drop,
Your tenacious tenor feeble and meek.

Hello! Are you there?
Somewhere?
Anywhere?
