A sudden rush of loving you
Turned upside down and flowing through,
Our hearts leap high stand tall and cry
We touch the joys that round us lie.

My love, surround me with your kiss
As angels round us both do fly,
And in this moment live the bliss
To intertwine our love divine.

Oh love divine that passes joy
Full flung without the pain of time,
I lie upon your bosom's glow
And rest in quiet peace sublime.

My love, surround me with your kiss
As angels round us both do fly,
And in this moment live the bliss
To intertwine our love divine.

Oh love divine, oh love divine
That passes joy, that passes bliss,
My love, surround me with your kiss
To intertwine our love divine.

The hot chili packet left over
from your take out chili
still rests on the table,
waiting, as if you will return for it,
as if hoping you will.

You have gone away from me,
only for a few days,
but all of me wants to be here
for you, waiting for your return.
I am not unlike the chili packet.

I have life.
It takes on life because you touched it,
left it there.
It is a reminder that you exist.
I am a reminder that you are real.
If I am real, then so are you.

Come home to me my one.
The hot chili packet and I await.

To laugh is to love.
I cannot but love the people with whom I laugh.

In my loneliness I have found you,
and you are there in my loneliness.

In my longing for you I have found you
and you are there in my longing.

In my silence I have searched for you,
And you are there in my silence.

I am used to you, and in that familiarity,
I am one with you.

I am only aware that you were with me
when you are away from me, for I miss you.

Tonight,
I do miss you!

He sits in the chair,
wheels for legs,
alone,
soft.
I touch him with my lips,
with my hands,
with my arms,
wrist to shoulder.
We are companions,
companions of love,
best friends.

The others run,
and work,
and play.

I touch him with my heart.
