Happy is the heart
That thinks on love
Measuring the value of emotion
Feeling the presence of its girth
Your worth to me is more than flesh.
Consideration, admiration of
the thrusting in this world
Carefully selected conversations
meant to keep me a gentle-lady
If you come through the door
And bring an offering
It will be welcome
Friendship preserved
Consider love
Warm love
Its time to sleep
I’ll dream of you tonight
