When you look into me
you are Columbus and i am America
you are Marco Polo and i am China
Your eyes are your ship
and with them you ride
the deep oceans of my soul.
and you discover me and seek my treasure
and you find
the gold that is my heart
and the silk that is my spirit
and the jewels that are my thoughts
and the diamonds that are my tears
and sometimes my laughter
Come, brave explorer
for there is still much to discover
Come take the treasure of my being
for you have planted your flag
upon my heart
and all that lies within
is yours
for the journey
------
Sweet Man-child
your wide-eyed innocence fills my heart
your trust in life, tho from the start
she left you
left you with so few warm places
left you a searcher for kind faces
left you a seeker of soft embraces
When will you grow
when will you know
that she won't hold you?
