Every Time

Every light that falls encases every crack in all the spaces of my broken heart in places deeper than I know. Every smile wrests another dream out from this would-be lover every star that shines above her brings me to my knees. Every time I catch her eyes I feel that I have won a prize every time, I realize the way she makes me glow. Every time I smell her hair Every time I cannot share all the feelings that I bear I cannot find my ease. Every time I start to think We stand before relation's brink Every time at you I wink is to hold back a tear. Every time I want to see the arms of you enfolding me Every time I cry my plea but not when you are near. Mark Burton Thursday September 1st, 2005, 3:23 P.M.
