                                                                              Your body is away from me  but there is a window open  from my heart to yours.  From this window, like the moon  I keep sending news secretly.

Do you know that I'm there when he calls you? Another secret. Even if I'm not the other woman, I still am. I don't listen.  Even if I did I wouldn't understand anything. Do you understand how long my heart has been with his? This isn't a passing fling Distance has become my companion and life has become difficult But I wouldn't change it. He is my choice going forward and I'm not one to doubt my choices. Do you know he occasionally makes me angrier than anyone on earth? Burning, seething frustration. The way we go round sometimes makes me wonder why we're together. We always come back around. I don't want life with anyone else but him. Do you know that laying next to him is the best thing on earth for me? My heartbeat slows. Holding his hand is like coming home after being away for a long time Sleeping securely, dreaming. Do you know that he's responsible for me still being alive and happy? Friendship, a held hand. He's given me the kind of l...

Tilt your head to the right love, Remind me that you belong to me. Though life batters us, Yours is always the hand mine will seek to hold. Tilt your head to the right love, Use these small gestures when we can't embrace. Seemingly innocent movements, Reminding me of all we've done when we're alone. Tilt your head to the right love, Even when it's hard, even when you're angry. When you've had enough and can't stand the sight of me. Tilt your head to the right love, when tomorrow seems far away. Dreams and aspirations and hopes still so far away, Promises yet unfulfilled. Tilt your head to the right love And I'll tilt mine to the left to meet you. ~Becky~

Come as you are, forget appearances! Is your hair untamable, your part uneven, your bodice unfastened? Never mind. Come as you are, forget appearances! Skip with quicksilver steps across the grass. If your feet glisten with dew, if your anklets slip, if your beaded necklace slides off? Never mind. Skip with quicksilver steps across the grass. Do you see the clouds enveloping the sky? Flocks of cranes erupt from the riverbank, fitful gusts ruffle the fields, anxious cattle tremble in their stalls. Do you see the clouds enveloping the sky? You loiter in vain over your toilet lamp; it flickers and dies in the wind. Who will care that your eyelids have not been painted with lamp-black, when your pupils are darker than thunderstorms? You loiter in vain over your toilet lamp; it flickers and dies in the wind. Come as you are, forget appearances! If the wreath lies unwoven, who cares? If the bracelet is unfastened, let it fall. The sky grows dark; it is late. Come as you are, forget appearanc...

I held the Sun, Stars and Moon at a distance till the time your hands touched mine. Now I am not a feather to be easily detached: instruct the hurricanes and tornados to observe their limits!

Dont ask me for the same love, my sweetheart I thought that life was radiant because of you Why complain of worldly woes, once in your love-affliction Your countenance brings eternity to the youth of spring What else is there in the world but for the beauty of your eyes If you were mine, my destiny would surrender to me This was not so, only my wish for it to be There are sufferings in the world other than the suffering of love There are pleasures other than the delight of our union Dark, heinous spells of uncountable centuries. Woven into rich silk and precious brocades being sold in every corner, bodies, covered in dirt, drenched in blood. Bodies, burning in hot ovens of disease Pus seeping from open, lacerating wounds. My sight returns to this as well, I am helpless Your beauty is heart-warming still, but I am helpless There are sufferings in the world other than the suffering of love
