My heart cries
and a dove flies
and carries love where you are.

My heart burns
as the tide turns
and washes love on your shore.

My heart breaks
and my soul aches
for you should never feel pain.

***

I stole a smile, once,
one of a million ones,
out of pure greed
from your lips.

I hung it high, then
on the sky, love,
among the prettiest stars.

It was too bright though,
made the rest pale,
I hid it right behind Mars.

Now that you need it,
I took it down again,
and sent it back
on a ship.

***

So watch out love,
for a tiny ship --
with a dove aboard --
that rides the tide.

It'll carry love
and a smile from me,
it'll find you safe --
no sea's to wide.
