“This was love, new and bright and terrifying”

“Today. This bright new day that awaits us”

“For that was love, wasnt it--to burn bright in someone else's eyes?”

“I'd love to write another song
Baby especially for you
I'd love to write another song
And feel things bright and new
In poetry I'd carve it well
I'd even make it rhyme
I'd love to write another song
Just to get some peace of mind.”

“Amber light
Of this new morning,
Amber light,
Clear, bright and warming.
Overnight
The Earth adorning…
Amber light,
A New Age is dawning….”

“in black ink my love may still shine bright.”

“Actually, you said Love, for you,
is larger than the usual romantic love. It’s like a religion. It’s
terrifying. No one
will ever want to sleep with you.”

“Love is a universal migraine.
A bright stain on the vision
Blotting out reason.”

“Of all the bright cruel lies they tell you, the crudest is the one called love.”

“A new word. Bright with possibilities. A flawless pearl to turn over and over in my hand, then put away for safekeeping.”
