My angular and wandering travels....

I'm an international person, having spent 6+years of my youth in various Central and South American countries. Within my occupation as a television engineer, I've since traveled back to Mexico several times to film various religious sites, to Ireland to film a video documentary on the life of St. Patrick, to Portugal and England. Each time I took hundreds of pictures, wrote songs and poems about the things I saw and heard and felt go on around me, and tried to absorb a sense for what people in each locale thought. How they love, how they see, how they think.... My other sites: www.myspace.com/mothtoacandle http://community.webshots.com/user/waynocook www.soundclick.com/eddieaustin

Why, Oh, Why is Love so Powerful?

I see her in the morning dark,
and want to crawl back in bed,
to feel her warm skin against me
her fragrance to fill my head.
Terrible the sense that I must leave
like work is some kind of awful god
It tears the the bond I feel this morning
And cruelly on our love it trod.
I kiss and kiss again
For I may not return home
Who knows what awaits me
On the lonely way I roam.
God did not create us,
To stop with loving this way.
He made us to be together
And I hurt from each parting, every day
How can I bear this,
I see your eyes as I drive
How much hurt can I walk through
How much pain before I fall.
Trembling I forge forward
Why, oh, why is love so powerful?
