“...when you enter a room, my wound opens, but there is light, always light, when you come in...”

“...yes I understand your spells—your sex magic—at least, I know this: all lights dim when you walk in...”

“...I've always idealized women I've loved - they all fell short, save one - the one God chose for me - she lights up a room by walking into it...”

“...I'm innocent still -inside me are stained glass windows that have never been broken- and when I see your light it stains my soul with color ...”

“...you want the sweetness of our beginning without the bitterness of our struggle - what are you asking - do you want light without shadow? ...”

“...when the room goes silent, someone has spoken with authority...”

“... only a seer or a lover would know that I'm making a jewelry of words for you -drawn from your essence -to flash and burn with your fire -so you can bedazzle with your own light ...”
