Women come and women go

And what is left is our yearning
...

Your eyes, they rove

In every stranger's face
...

My love for you is an ocean of purity

And the tides they carry our kisses to the shore
...

I saw at the bottom of my closet
In a pile of old clothes
My blue shirt that had a hole,
From cigarette flames
...

Let me argue
In that light
...

I am bound for the sea; your heart in my heart
An ambassador from the garden
...

In the winter
I miss the fiery sun
...

I kissed you most sweetly
Before one of your friends
...

If only you agreed to throw all those things around us
And jumped with me on the same bus with those young lovers
...

Why, do you think
The moon was up on high last night
...

I leave the whole world
For people to do as they please
...

Now all the songs come at once
Calling you from long gone worlds
...

A shroud is wrapped around a rose

Forsaken beauty is concealed
...

Had we but dog-eared pages and blurred nights

Vast space and immortal time
...
