Anyplace
You anyplace me in your heart
where patience waits
to hear love start
its concert
throbbing
through
your
blood
(((emotions r-o-l-l-i-n-g(((
holy f_l_o_o_d :
you carry me
past metaphors.
Restore me
toward your gleaming shores,
beloved country:
'tis of she,
the sweetest kiss of liberty:
to thee
me
bring.
Hands
-there our dreams
confide.
Sands
where no seams
divide.
If
anyplace
is lov
e
,my bride,
please
wear
this
ring.
