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.
