Like a light blue butterfly
Flying on the snowdrops
Of any garden existing,
My thoughts fly
Around the world
And then they come back
In order to understand
What my heart could ever love
More than your breath.
Inside me
Your name is written,
Your eyes living in my memory.
There is the fire
But also the rain,
Anonymous drops falling
From my cheeks
Down on my hands.
I'm hopeless and,
At the same time,
Your only hope.

Oh, true love,
You heal pains
Both unbearable
And terrifying.
Your touch is gentle
But also strong.
You are powerful
But also wise.
I can't remember
How many times
You told me
That I can find you
Not only outside myself
But also inside my mind:
I can love myself.

I'd like to tell you
What I really think
And in my mind
What lives.
Flows the water
Of the river restless
And on the bank
I sit counting the drops
Like tears pouring.
And whisper I
Your name.
Because you are
The inhabitant
Of the land
That I call
My own heart.

Sheen perched. He wasn't comfortable sitting; he didn't want to move too far. Normally, he'd be pacing, working at the cybernetics on his workbench, talking to himself.

Now he perched, watching Verve's chest move up & down. Sedge would be back soon. He had to be.
