Alone inspired
by a woman’s touch,

aligned, intwined
in forever’s mind

to hurt, to hide,
feel fear inside

to fight for light,
to feel the night,

to feel so proud
that I can love aloud

no other pleasure could reach this measure,
to feel that glee that others see.

That glow, that shine
that love refines

That pleasant hue,
the love that’s you.
– Jason Black
