you have never left my residence
there are times I wish for forgiveness
times of regret-
times to remember joy
at the times that were
in some immaculate light
sometimes I wish never
sometimes I wish always and forever
all these rivers
the source and destination
always lead back to you. (my love)

---

decades gone and through
there is no one else’s eyes
I long to look into-
then unto death I will stray
or headfirst, who can say
but at that moment
as in most
my once and only thought
-will be you. (my love)

I wonder-
if the anchor is still there
for I know
the shipwreck is
