So gentle against your breast.

And everyone in sight.

What is this quest called Love?
Is it an element of our enviroment
or just another invention of the mind.

Does it exist on the Copperhead express
Does it Hide among the cookies and trolls.

She talks too much,
He said to she,
But wait she say,
And talk to me,
I'll whisper sweet,
I'll murmur low,
I'll softly breathe,
Which way to go,
And now you need,
But she receed and say,

Words can hurt

some scratching the surface
and some piercing the heart.

Travel a distance away
And never been a poet at all,
But when I have seen your
Rose-colored lips
Your ocean blue eyes
Diamond spreading smile,
I became a poet and started writing poems.

I have heard music with tune
Sometimes I have danced with folk
And never been a singer at all,
But when I have heard your
