and the afterglow...of your gaze...is the onlysweater that I need.

some winterswill never meltsome summerswill never freezeand some things will only... live in poems.

...so i will greet youin a wayall loved thingsare meant to be greetedwith a tear in my heartand a poem in my eye.

there are some poemsthat we leave behindsome that leave us behindwhile some just livesilentlyin the heartcrumble, sometimesdwindledisappeardieand are rebornwhen you smile again.

it was the kind of moonthat I would want to send back to my ancestorsand gift to my descendantsso they know that I too, have been bruised...by beauty.

because some thingssometimesaren't ours to hold, but just beautiful to listen to.

i'm glad to be alive in a world wherehis gently awakening eyesnourish the morning sun.

there is some achingthat will only heal...in the mosque of sleep.

i want to stay curled and cosiedand chocolated....foreverin my mother’s arms.

leave me some musicthat’s chocolate for the heart.

I wish to stay drenchedforeverin those rain-blue eyesin those...soul-reaching crystalsnot moving a musclenor breathingjustsavoringthis turquoise acheagainst my heart.

One sock can't house two feet. If it does, it’s of no use.

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.

Christians.....expend more “moral” energy opposing abortion than fighting genocide.

There's really no honor in proving that you can carry the entire load on your own shoulders. Andit's lonely.

Of myself I must say this, I never was any greedy, scraping grasper, nor a strait fast-holding prince, nor yet a master; my heart was never set on worldly goods, but only for my subjects' good.

Grief and disappointment are like hate: they make men ugly with self-pity and bitterness. And how selfish they make us too.

I guess the tone of jokes is often, at best, irreverent, but it always comes from a place of deep love.

I went out on my own, years ago, to try to create some additional choices in a parallel universe.

My thing is to gain the respect as an actor, as a professional, and the friendship and everything else will happen from there.

I am certain about what I will never do - but not about what my art will render.
