Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me read
the poem as
a YouTube video.
I want to make you smile as you
make me.
I wish you saw my thoughts right through my eyes.
You ask me what I'm thinking. I can't tell you.
You are the stars, and I the empty
skies.
In me there is a yearning ever
flowing
That needs to reach an end that never comes.
I cannot be myself without you with me.
This is a truth no wisdom ever plumbs.
You laugh, and say
that I'm your personal angel,
And this is what I want so much to be.
The beauty of my life is like a passion
That blows right through the person that you
see.
