Loves Selfish Desire

If I could break every clock in the world Would that stop time from passing If I would smash every watch ,everywhere Could you stay here with me No age to wither, no cancer to grow No roads to call, no fear to follow Foolish thoughts I have, I know Love’s selfish desire Lay still, my sweet , this twilight morn Senses calm, the day unborn A moment seized , infinite dream Forever in my heart

So romantic, all the more so for being so unattainable. Ah, the eternal tension. Well-penned, as always, Mike, you incurable romantic, you!! Go for it! :) gw
