...it must be hard when you are a beautiful woman and no one will look at your soul...
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
...a sensual life is a ghostly existence where you live on the surface and your soul passes through everything, touching nothing ...
... you are lovely - God has painted every feature of your soul ...
...the monk beat me to break my spirit, incensed I knew Acquinas - angry, I knew his riddle - beauty is what is pleasing to the eye - he wasn't...
...once I saw you in moonlight and I can tell you - the silvery dust of the stars doesn't shimmer like you...
...you ask me why I compare you to stars - it's simple - that's where your goddess has fled...
...I remember your profile in darkness outlined by stars ...
I am in love with the stars of night - I have made them audible...
...I can’t grasp the stars, but I love them – in the same way, I love you...
....my sacred landscape is the foothills of the stars - I go there often to sleep ...
...when you look at the stars, you should tremble - only dullards have become callous to this frisson ...
...Everyone struggles to guard their heart from breaking, when they should desire to have a heart that breaks...
...it was inevitable I loved you - we were soul mates - for the same reason, we were fated to suffer...
...love is suffering - that's the happy ending...
...you go back to liberate the captives and sadly realize, some want to remain tied down in the cave...
...the real absurdity is that to love is to suffer, but the reverse isn't always true...
...you can't rationalize suffering - it's indeterminate - the real unknowable variable God substitutes in...
...you are not what you seem - you're a Sylph - you leave and the air retains your image - you haunt me...
...I gave you painted air - tears I couldn't weep - truths I couldn't speak - all the words that caught in my throat...
...these vignettes I sketch for you - what are they? watercolors ..yes and dreams blurred with tears ...
