...some people won't even own a dog for fear it will die - you can't bubble-wrap your heart...

...I'm not in control and without a firm spot, like Archimedes I can't move the world - let alone your heart..

...if it weren't for you, mornings wouldn't be so comforting - slippers wouldn't scrape through the rooms of my heart...

...true love is an irrevocable act - you can only give your heart away once - after that, you give as much as you have left ...

...the heart breaks in so many different ways that when it heals, it will have fault lines ...

...God and your heart both whisper - incline your ear - don't just learn from your head...

...the religion of the heart is as intimate as a wish breathed to the night sky...

...I don't want security - to be self-assured - I want to risk my heart in making your portrait and be paid the wages of your devotion...

...my heart is a desolate field over which geese vee, the sky turns and the days lie fallow...
