Wasted Time

love you explode upon my demeanor in passions nova
make me hold to such a state, breath in gasping declarations
I've been a rover a rogue but you deviate my will in rapturous abandon
I am little more than a toy , go ahead play with the boy and the man awakens.
The shift profound and urgent as the servant becomes the master
Ministrations run ever faster the cherubic arrow finds its way
The heart of the matter encompasses
Heaven glimpsed Hell defined
Am I yours or are you mine?
Break the the faith in gleeful anticipation
Find another in the random progression
Oh how he shines, do you not see?
Yet heaven for you is hell for me
Conversation wears a sweater moth eaten and frayed
Delight in degradation if that is what you need.
Look no more for me to intercede
I've not the stomach for such deviation
I'll find a soul with normal needs
Not another to make me bleed.
Your sophistry of tapestry will not define me

If love is a phone then let me be the receiver
Let the font show elegant notion in a kaleidoscopic fever
Married juices flow around the heat in fucking sweat
Fall upon the madness in tandem fashion, no regrets
Forfeit tomorrow and the next
We are an Island of sex play we rock the best
Sordid nothing, all is open.

So Far Away From You

The distance bites my heart like a wild thing at bay,
Languish my love half a world away.
In the lonley hours the wanting bites my soul,
Dawn finds me drained somewhat less than whole.
Sunrise , the beacon to another land,
My old world woman needs her new world man.
Heart hold fast, Soul make due,
The solitary heart shall soon be two.
To touch, to feel, to drown in loves sweet appeal,
Simply the only heart i want to feel.
Until then I will just make due,
I'm coming home to be with you.

I found my reason
To celebrate the seasons
I found more time
to pen you a rhyme
Let me harvest what you've sown
A crop called "never alone"

Let the clowns exit the stage
Maestro hold down your rage
I have found my curtain call
She is love she is all
We are duets in summer rain
A song of love without the pain

Let Gods grace apportioned
Radiate a sweeter emotion
Beauty calls me to your arms
to bestow upon thee lovers charm
Let give and take of divine devotion
Find us one in a world of commotion

Some little thing says everything
The secret word between you and me
A bend of the brow
The walk that waylays me
Find the font of love insane
resting warm on a winter pane
Some destiny of a notice of two
The thought that binds me to you
It is love ...love for you
