To Wives Who Take Love For Granted
Let us now love while it's not yet late When hearts to their own rhythm still do listen
Cherish him who fathers your children
Love's for today, for tomorrow, it can't wait.
What use is it to mourn for a departed
Whom you begrudged love while still breathing?
Will he from his grave hear all your grieving?
Just love him now, 'tis all that's ever wanted.

My Music
My music
is an old bottle of perfume
discarded but not forgotten
clinging obstinately
to remind me
with its lingering scent
a promise, a fulfillment.
