Do you remember me Walking under the rain and sun To prove my love, Fetching your water, When friends and others said "I was as a madwoman?" Looking for you in every corner, Putting food in a bucket, Yet, you look in my face And said, "Love is cripple!" I didn't understand your tricky words, Till you modest me in tears. I understood you are...

Cripple Creek in Colorado Ghost town before have you ever seen? Behind old buildings is grass so green, That we looked for and started to seek; In Colorado a place called Cripple Creek. Thriving mining town it once had been; With several people there, mostly men; Trees they had cut down by the cords; Made houses and cabins out of boards. What we now...

Like the lame use crutches to...

Blind- Help me son, help me daughter, help this old beggar, Give a coin, give some water, help this blind creature. Help this aged, come to aid, help this downcast blind, Draw your hands, off you pockets, mix your hands, combined. Lacking sleep, bloody hunger!

You cripple me, I fall into you hard, Abandoning motion. You deafen me, I fall into the sounds of you, Neglecting to hear those of the world. You mute me, I fall into the allure of your words, Disregarding my own. You blind me, I fall into the beauty that surrounds you, Forgetting to see anything else. You render me useless, I fall out of myself completely, Forming...
