"I Am Not Yours"

I am not yours, not lost in you,

Not lost, although I long to be

Lost as a candle lit at noon,

Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still

A spirit beautiful and bright,

Yet I am I, who long to be

Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out

My senses, leave me deaf and blind,

Swept by the tempest of your love,

A taper in a rushing wind.

Marilyn is my hero. The one celebrity that I feel an allegiance to. She was beautiful and the epitome of a movie star. Her name as well as her face will remain in our hearts forever.

Sometimes beauty is strangely different than what we have come

to expect.
