Like a River Run Dry

When I think how much I love you,
the words flow like a river run dry.

Emotions well up from under the surface
to be lost on the desert of inexpression.

Yet your presence fills my nights
your closeness brings me joy.


You sang a song for me of unknown meaning,
we laughed, its still a cherished memory.

It breaks my heart to make you cry
I sit in quiet sadness, I wonder why.

Yet I love you more than I can tell
and sometimes the words flow like a river run dry.


for Penny, my love, my joy...
