a note on insecurity:

"Rest in my arms", says He
who knew you before you did.

"Rest in my heart", says He,
who made blood to pump
                                flow
                                and rush at the mention of
HE says, "Rest in my eyes.

How I long to stare at my art;

intent on what I've titled 'you' and you've titled 'nothing'."

"Swim in my tears as I watch plight after plight for love
                                                                                  significance
                                                                                  romance...
Don't drown as I hear fight after fight:
                                                    You vs. You
                                                    You vs. your arms
                                                    You vs. your stomach
                                                    You vs. Me, really..."

"So intent am I", He said,
"on sharing myself with you...

But keep one thing for yourself:
my eyes."
