  • Present Tense, for There is No Other Kind

    could you lose yourself in me today
    knowing that there is no tomorrow?

    would you lend your heart to me
    knowing the days that follow
    will bring you sorrow?

    The question of a lifetime
    answered in a year. . .

    the pain is my assurance:
    perhaps i shan't sink too deep?
    because irreversibility
    is not a possibility.

    just beyond the other side
    of the door to my heart,
    the love of many lifetimes
    patiently awaits my return
