Valley of the Lovers

You can play here and come and go

But respect these broken bodies

Have been through more than you know

Revere these fragile hearts and minds

With your ever tender loving care

Cherish their breasts and lips and limbs

You are their lungs and they your air

You can have as many lovers as you like

And there are as many paths to take

As there are valleys and lands to hike

But don’t forget to tread so carefully

On whichever trail lands beneath your feet

For these paths and valleys are paved

With the hearts of every lover you meet
