[Richard Burbridge]
When you love someone,
you want to parade him.
When he's not physically present with you,
people see him
because
you have become
who you love
with all your
heart, soul and might -
You've become one
with him.
Who he is,
you are.
And you are mighty-proud of it.
*
Have you been in love
before?
When you love someone,
You want to see life
through his
eyes.
You always wonder
what's in his mind.
What's he thinking now?
What are his opinions about
this and that?
How would he
solve this problem?
What visions and dreams
jog within?
You'll ask and listen
when he expresses his thoughts.
At other times,
you observe, squint, decipher
every tinker you spot.
You record
every glimpse you catch in
writings and drawings.
On these,
you ponder,
study and understand.
Without fail, at the end,
you're marveled by him.
*
You yearn to know
what's in his
heart.
What's he feeling now?
What means most
to him?
Which desires grip,
which burdens weigh
What does each heartbeat
carry?
Oh,
you want to carry all-
whatever they may be.
You pine to press into
and dwell
in the chambers of his heart.
The thousands of labyrinths
do not frighten
but delight you.
At every
twist and turn,
you laugh and smile at
how wonderfully complex,
how beautiful he is.
There,
everyday,
sunrise to sundown,
you will teach your heart
to dance with his heartbeat.
As you gain momentum,
your hearts meld into one.
It creates melodies and rhythms.
These songs are never the same.
They are new
every morning.
Can you hear the music that
rings in me?
Electrifying.
