   [slm]

~ when I hear men speak eagerly of you...
   and hear women speak irritably of you...
   I know how beautiful you are...

~ show me a man who loves you more than I do...
  take me to him so I may first shake his hand and congratulate him...
  and second, so I may kill him...

~ a man needs a moment to love a woman,
  and centuries to forget her...

~ you say you need a testimony of my love...a declaration...
  tell me my love, why?
  how can a sea forever guarantee it's boundaries?

~ you are no ordinary woman...you are astonishment itself...
  the guessing...at what is to come...unexpected...

~ how is it that in a moment of discovery and inspiration,
  you could extract water from the heart of the stone?
  how is it that with a touch of a single eyelash,
  you could turn a solitary moon into a thousand crescents?
