“...I make no apology about stirring the depths - every human longs to swim under water and see what lurks beneath ...”

“...Use your finger to trace the scar upon my chest- I lied - it wasn't a knife wound, but a scrape from a nail sliding under a fence to see you...”

“...beneath torrents of spring rain, buds come to life - and we do too, beneath torments of tears...”

“...all kinds of images swim like tropical fish in the bathysphere inside my skull ...”

“...there's something magical about a mask, but I have never worn one - I want you to see my pain and know how your love affects me...”

“...I don't want what other men see in you- you the you I want is invisible but it is the part of you I really love...”

“...I lost my illusions in a black rain of bitterness - now what do you see in my eyes? How can you still love me? How can I be tender? ...”
