you are the wellspring of dreams.
desire comes as it will,
but having a focus of such singularity,
of such beauty,
causes an intensity that changes the world
of the imagination.
it creates a whirlpool in still waters,
it creates a wind over becalmed seas.
raise sails and on to sunset

well, pandora,
if you ever needed a new junk box
you know where to find me.
all of the coarse evils
have been beaten out of me
jealousy, spite, anger
but self doubt that compels courtesy,
and hope for a second date
springs eternal
within.
