Take the very breath away from me if you wish,
take all away, but…
do not take away your laughter.
Do not take away the rose,
the delicate bloom of you,
your passion, like the dew
suddenly bursts forth in joy,
a sudden wave
of silver burn in you…
My days are long, my struggles many,
my eyes grow weary;
But when I hear your laughter,
it’s like the very sky seeking me,
and it opens for me all the
doors of life…
My heart, in the darkness
hears your laughter and
I suddenly glimpse you,
my blood rushing, ears ringing,
because your laughter
is only for me,
like a life preserver…
Beneath the azure sky
your laughter rises
to cascade like gentle rain
I want your laughter like
the flowers thirst on a plain…
Your laughter in the night,
at dawn, at noon,
chasing clouds down the streets
of the sky above…
Oh how I love you and
my eyes close in ecstasy
when I hear…
your laughter.
