All that I desire in life are three...
A wilderness: A beach on the sun-drenched sea,
A puff of opium,
And thee.

My Love wakes in a puddle of sunlight.
Her hands asleep beside her.
Her hair draped on the lawn
like a mantle of cloth.
I give her my troth, for our love is whole
I sing her beauty in my soul

Mine was the twilight and the morning. Mine was a world of rooftops and love songs.

Everything was brighter and more colorful in those years, as if my childhood was ending in an explosion of unreal passion that made my life feel sacred and holy.

Our eyes will know the heavens if our lips stay for each other.

Our lips were for each other and our eyes were full of dreams. We knew nothing of travel and we knew nothing of loss. Ours was a world of eternal spring, until the summer came.
