On a Day Like Today

Like cold rain on my head

Old ecstasies repeat like a favorite song

Filling my mind to the brim

With the reign of desire and passion,

One sweet thought of love among other madnesses,

My heart speaks on a day like today...

Pages of history pass much like us

Raging in heart, savages in a battle

For the comfort of the soul,

Projecting godliness on each other's faces,

Risking everything for one face, one name,

I am in love again on a day like today...

Fruit ripened to its fullest color

Jewels glowing in perfect light,

A force beyond the stars directing

My hand to yours, my lips to yours,

My mind spilling into yours in words,

In thoughts that are received and understood

While never being heard...

A mirror with two faces now looking...

The image of you is heavenly on a day like today...

Alone in the clouds or a cell in the flowing crowd,

The memories roll on the same track

Full of heat, vigor, and hope,

A portrait of the joy we wanted,

The game we hungrily pursued,

Following with beating chest and groaning stomach...

Could we have loved any more fiercely?

Could any other written lines say it better?

Could the blood in any other veins be truer?

I remember you on a day like today...

On a day like today, there is only you.
