Heartbeat

Pulsing, throbbing, pounding,
The sound of this love
Purity, innocence, and truth
The essence of this love
Wanting to know you
Wanting to be near you
Longing to please you
In everything I do
To always be beside you
To always see you smile
You love me
What more could I desire

Moon Song

My great pearl-white
sphere in the sky.
Slipping in and out
of the grey sea above,
Swimming in an ocean of tears,
you are complete
in my eyes tonight.
I try to escape you,
running on and on,
but even forever
is within your reach.
Tonight as you rise,
I am falling,
sinking down to the depth
of the pit of loneliness.
For your memory
brings joy, sorrow,
laughter and pain.
I paid the price
of loving you
through another's eyes.
The one who introduced me
to the sun and the stars
gave you to me
as a love offering.
Long since forgotten,
he closed his eyes forever.
Even my pleading tears
will not bring my love back to me.
Oh, Moon, my sorrow friend,
can I ever love again?
