A lyrical love piece "Diamond in a Rough."

"There's a diamond in a rough,
It's being chipped away slowly,"
How do you make a diamond turn to dust?
Years ago,
I never had to second guess what I thought,
So on the piano I used to express what I felt,
I can't think of sadder times,
When I'm without her,
She made me feel that you had a soul.

A lyrical love piece "Excitement is leaving me."

Did you know excitement is leaving me,
In all my daily activities,
There are none that satisfy me when I'm without her,
There's one who called me a virus I would see again, 
And still my poems are sufficient to describe my disease,
And there are few who I would be excited to be with,
And now I have to find a way to find a replacement,
Which cannot be done very easily.
There's "Non-violent communication"--a book, on the table,
And it's giving me ideas,
I can write something original after reading a passage from it.

A lyrical love piece "Dueling"

Still as a liberal,
I'm melancholy,
She's afraid of the man who wrote to her,

Still as a socialist,
The days of dueling are over,
But in books and games they live,

Still as an unhappy communist man, 
I love her like the calm moonlit night.
