I arrived today to find a dozen roses
carefully arranged in a crystal vase.
A new love song, my heart composes ...
from so far away, I feel your embrace.
*
A beautiful tear, I silently shed ...
my heart longs for you, as if it bled.
*
The softest touch, their petals caress ,
across my fingers, down my cheek .
Sensation a single rose can express
but you've given twelve of them to speak.
*
Without words, so much you've said...
my heart longs for you, as if it bled.
*
A symbol of our immortal devotion ,
they whisper to me, when you cannot.
Stronger than the sweetest love potion ,
for all my life this passion I’ve sought.
*
The rose's soft petals, in colors of red ...
my heart longs for you, as if it bled.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
