Love's Witness����爱情的见证
Slight unpremeditated Words are borne
By every common Wind into the Air;
Carelessly utter'd die as soon as born，
And in one instant give both Hope and Fear：
Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind
According to the Caprice of the Mind.
But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses，
Substantial Records to Eternity;
Just Evidences，who the Truth confess
On which the Lover safely may rely；
They're serious Thoughts，digested and resolv'd；
And last，when Words are into Clouds devolv'd.
不加思索的轻率话语，
被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气；
随便说说，刚出口即消失，
一瞬间给人希望和恐惧：
同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠，
追随心灵无常的遐想。
但情书则是恒常的见证，
直至永恒的实体记录；
公道的证物，它道出真诚，
恋人能在其上安心依附；
它们是严肃的思想，经过深思熟虑；
当话语在云外消失，它们还将延续。

Almost Persuaded--- by David Houston
August 18 2001 18:17
Last night all alone in the bar room
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
She has ruby red eyes cold black hair
And eyes that could tempt any man
And she came and sat down at my table
And there she placed her soft hand in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I Almost Persuaded
To strip myself off my pride
Almost Persuaded
To push my conscience aside
And we danced and she whispered
“I need you”
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw ----
The reflection of my wedding band
And I Almost Persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost Persuaded
But your sweet love made me
Stop and go home

To Love You Well Enough by Robert A. Daniels
Do I know you well enough
To love you well enough
To dream by your side
Until death do we part?
Am I one with you
In the way that the star and its light are one
Or is there division as a horizon
Standing between us?
Do you fill me or empty me;
Do you invade my spirit
Or allow it to be released
Like a genie from a tarnished lamp?
Do I know you well enough
To love you well enough
To dream by your side
Until death do we part?
