Volume one, part one: the words

My soul sleeps on a sea of happiness.
I regret only my location.
If I were closer to you, I would know no regrets.
I send my heart to you on a river of tears.
I sense your hair is extra bouncy today.
Would but I could bounce in your hair.
The drought in my barren arms beckon to you;
As my lonely fingers hunger for you tender follicles.
This earnest verse dies at your feet.
The tenth line is here.
