I LOVE U

If I were walking

on the lonely

railroad tracks

of a loveless life

and I heard in

the distance

the sounds of your train

coming

and as you approached

I saw the brightness

of your flashing

warning lights

I would

fein deafness

pull out of my pocket

shades so dark

I would be considered

legally blind

I would bend down to touch the rails

to feel the heat & vibrations

of your impending arrival

and stand

completely still,unafraid

LETTING U

SMASH

RIGHT INTO

MY LIFE

written 11/19/03-I am not afraid of the love that he has in store for me. I am so willing to take that leap. I refuse to run from it.
