I’ve had this feeling once before
Now I have it once again
I know it will come another time
When will this torture end
It’s not going away this time
Oh Lord how long will it take
You could not understand
The way I feel
For she is Beauty—Beauty Incarnate
I turn away though it hurts me so
I must not open my eyes
I cannot speak, I shall not tell
For fear my love is cast aside
It’s not going away this time
Oh Lord how long will it take
You could not understand
The way I feel
For she is Beauty—Beauty Incarnate

For Love of My Shadow 
When you write like this I feel you. Beautiful.
This, Sheri, is a rare piece written about my actual present feelings at the time of authorship. I was 16, and it ended up being a big hit with a local band called Pack of Wolves in the Northern Bay area. So it has a lot of history and emotion for me.
Many of these piece go back 20+ years like this one. So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
