I found peace like a river. I gave myself time to forget all the pain. I tried new ways to bring a smile to my face ‘til I couldn't remember your name. Life after you: I saw love all around me and looked into the eyes of a brand new me. I kept my heart open and the love that was stolen returned in full measure, a recovered treasure I will never lose. I love my life after you. It's lights, colored deeper, harmonies, sweeter. Love came and found me. Happiness blossomed around me. It burst like a fountain high as a mountain. This is my life after you.

Ten Times a Day
Ten times a day, I say I'm through wanting you. Then I think of you standing next to me, and the fantasy starts with your lips close to mine. Somehow, I'm floating away into the scent and the taste of your rhythm and rhyme. It may be a daydream, but it feels like you're mine. If ever we touched in the here and now, I'd have to be crazy to let you go. I’d lift you so high, we'll never come down.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
