turn down the music...
beneath sound lies a heartbeat
that cannot be played!

undress, carved by light
and shadow twisted by want,
till i hurt with need.

eyes twinkle, instant,
your life unfolds in a touch
that burns away doubt!

light bound by darkness breaks free

but the act of giving...

are set free by not grasping
- touch without holding

that paint life as me and mine
- nameless and selfless!
