      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Cover art painting by Candice James

      Architect

      It’s flowing and glowing

      Heating and meting out

      The embers from my heart

      That you may hold them in your hand,

      Breathe on them and spark them

      Into a flame

      We can burn into Eternity’s body and soul.

      You are the architect shaping my dreams

      Until I become the dream itself –

      The dream only you can create.

      Oh Architect

      Be gentle yet precise

      As you create the me I’ve been waiting so very long to become!

      The Air I Breathe

      Whenever I hear your voice on the phone

      Electricity flows through the line,

      Drives through my heart

      And splits the moment

      Into some degree or slice of paradise.

      You have taken the ice I’ve lived in for years

      And melted it into it’s own fiery glass.

      Sometimes I wonder how I ever lived before you.

      Most times I’m aware of the fact that I didn’t.

      If there ever comes a moment in my life called After You,

      I won’t be living in it

      Because

      You’re fast becoming the air I breathe.

      The Blade Of The Knife

      Sometimes I just need to have a few drinks

      So it doesn’t actually seem like it is in the moment.

      It lets me hide

      Somewhere in between

      What is

      And what isn’t.

      It allows me to surreptitiously live in

      What could be

      And what should be.

      The way it dulls the blade of the knife

      Doesn’t allow the missing you feeling

      To cut quite so deep.

      The Brush Of Your Breath

      Smoke rings rising in images of you.

      I see all possibilities in
