Deb and I were married on a snowy night - wind cross-wove a veil of snow for her then threw confetti at us as we left the lighted church...

...I lost my illusions in a black rain of bitterness - now what do you see in my eyes? How can you still love me? How can I be tender? ...

...with you, I find peace from pain - You are gentle and healing like the landscape—like rain...

...I looked in the window, wanting to stay - it rained, yet I remained...because you were so lovely...

...surely by now you must know: It’s love; it’s love—but will there ever be good news?...

...you knew I was confused, tormented, but you enticed me - led me on...

...you became lost in the maze of me - forgive me Love, for keeping you close...

...don't you realize a flawless profile means nothing when a mere smile drives me to desperation? Don't you covet that power?..

...I'm constantly agitated, restless - I work moments like worry beads until I see your face...
