Love fell through my hands like desert sands. I looked for guidance, There was none. Then good riddance, Desperate child. The sun came out, Warmed and kissed my face. What is the matter? Would you shatter my illusions of place? That happened years ago. Look at you, Look at you now! I ain't broken, I bow to no man, Yet you are on your knees Think about that.
He walked home Tonight And debated in his head. Now alone, Never answered the phone. Locked himself in his room. But couldn’t sleep Looking for a tone. Something he could keep. Love is a mystery At least to me. And it has history. Can he make that leap?
Her touch indescribable. The scrambled bible in his mind. Was he dealing with an angel? Surely, surely. What else could she be? He gave what he could, Only his love. Prayed it would satisfy, But never sure. Remember, don’t forget, You’re a man. You desire And it’s pure. You never felt this way before? So what if it tears you apart. But what a start!
For all the women I never had When I tried to impress. For the love I gave And the love I had That never seemed to last. For the drugs and booze when I went too far A creature of excess. For the life I built And almost wrecked Yet built again from scratch. For the money I made And the lifestyle You cannot beat the cash. For the pressure I took, Common coal to diamond That just will not wash. For all the friends That I let down When they all went west. For I was just a man. Racked with doubt. Did i do my best?
Kiss me one more time Before I get onto that plane. But through the pain of separation An enduring smile remains. The smile remains. I hold you one more time. Your soft lips touch mine. Our heated breath turns me on so, But I must go. I must go. Now i sit alone and think of you, All the things that we could do. And all the clocks go slow Till i see you again. See you again.
I searched for such a long time. Was the hope of love fading Like the closing of the day? Or had it just begun, A fire that cannot die. I had been in love before, But never like this. One rapturous kiss Immediate connection. We had never met. And without explanation. All my thinking Meant nothing In the moments we shared. The tingle down my spine So much, so much I wanted her to be mine.
I am a lyrical lover. I have no disguise, Unlike Batman, And I don’t fight crimes. I am just a guy who tries, And I see in your eyes, You may want me too. With my hand on your thigh, I feel you shiver right through. One look at your face I want to dive into you. I don’t come up for air, For the pleasure down there. Something has arisen, And there’s no going back. My clothes feel like a prison, And get dropped in a stack. Desire must be fed Now, woman, get into my bed.
Smooth, smooth, just like James Bond. Maybe I am a wizard with a magic wand? I can grant you a wish, or maybe two. When I fall in love, then it’s all about you. You stole my heart, but I don’t want it back. Keep it forever coz you’re my pussycat. I am on my best behaviour as you're worthy of that. Ooohh, babe, not what I seem. Give me a chance, could be the man of your dreams. If you want phantasy you gotta try me. Step into my world, you can be my girl. Don’t want you to go, stay and see, Now gimme a twirl, And you can be the very pearl I been looking for.
There is a story here, A man so bold, Something of a cavalier. Liked a challenge, Had no fear. This is how it's told. Riding in the woods one day He spied a maid, lovely to behold, And approaching her did say, "Good lady, take my hand, I mean you no disgrace". This is how it's told. His courtship was untutored, But his chivalry took hold. And what he lacked In natural grace, Was made up in a kindly face. This is how it's told. But he reflected sadly, Girls want more, and are not sold On brave, courageous knights Who will fight For a woman. This is how it's told. She said “remove your breeches Courtly love is all too cold. So many manners, So little sex". He stammered for a reply. This is how it's told. She left him like a wet fish on the bank, Looking very far from bold. Confused he dressed without delay And asked "what just happened?”. She replied “you are my third today!” This is how its told. If anyone should doubt this tale, Of fallen men And fallen girls, Take heed and think again. No bold knights, No fair maids, Simply men and women.
Listen up, word up hear the call Not a day goes by How and why We ever happened at all You are never on your own Always on the telephone Young men by my pool Tennis coach and fitness trainer There is nothing plainer Drinking all my booze Ten pairs of jimmy choos Armani and Fendi clothes All purchased at Bon Marché Made you happy for a day Accused of intellectual arrogance I don’t get the rhetoric I want to lose the epithet Or I may lose my balance Yes, I was smart Had to be How else would I survive. But you still don’t get it It didn’t fall like Mana from heaven There were no lies I was always present You never worked a day Since you met me Said you couldn’t compete Well, do something else Meeting guys on writing courses Were these the only choices So, died my hair went underground Somewhere I, could not be found Never made a sound That’s how it was for me Bohemian insanity Led me to follow Another's arms and neck And to the sacred hollow What the heck She was not for me Yes, I wasted time If that’s a crime I’ll come quietly
Did you ever meet a girl, You wanted so much, But the structure of your mouth, Felt crushed, Tongue tied? You cannot speak to her, You have nothing to hide, But something to say. It ain't gonna reach her, Your world falls away. You seek her. Don’t go looking, You look like a stalker, Try again. If its meant to be, Maybe one day, You will meet her.
I wanted to hate her, but I couldn’t. Showed me something that I shouldn’t. I would not witness again, so I wouldn’t. I don’t tell lies to my dying day, So I walked away, And so I pray. Only thing I say, In my defence, There was no recompense, My love for her was spent. She came as a young man’s dreams, A kinda love, So it seems, Took me. Asked her number, Didn’t give it. Her husband home soon, So no room for me. Draft a different persona, So, I went casually, A visit to the docs. Took an STD, Said I was clean, But I wasn’t.
The facts, I cannot take away. Take you on a holiday. We go bohemian, For a while. You say I am out of style, But don’t detract from, My smile. I act like a child, I know, But it drives you wild, Pro bono.
Just shut up and listen, For a while. The devil, Has a handsome Smile. Not like mine, Ripped off, As a child. No ransom paid, So I went wild. A feral kid, Who did what, He did. Relied on no one, Broken. Reject me at your peril. Show some respect. You think me crazy, Will never be lazy. Everything displays me. The cunts. (Did he just say that?) Well he shouldn’t. Wouldn’t remove, The stain on character. He swears a lot. People forgot. Invective, Offers different, Challenges, And ranges.
The ruptured structure, Of our lives, Denies, The truth. If you want proof, A heart so broken Can't be put back together, Unless someone, Picks it up, Walks with it, Runs with it, To fields of rapture.
Never deny Who you are What you did Or said. Unreliable voices in the head. Take care I am here You are there But together We turn fear Into friend Look back Was it ever Really there? Stories don’t end But new chapters Just beginning.
Letters on the hallway floor, Should I read them, I am not sure. Anxiously collected, Why do I feel insecure? Address is right, And the name, Council tax, Bills in the main. Then there’s one, I open first. Written in a pretty hand, Left unsigned, But I know who. Talks of love, I read it through, Several times. The paper, delicate, And thin, So I calm down. The rest declined, Go in bin!
Listen well in quiet rooms, There maybe something there. Speak soft amidst the noise of crowds, And your voice will be heard. Act when others do not dare, They are full of doubt and fear. Be generous when you have no more, And others do not care. Be free with love, And do not seek reward. Ask for less than you deserved, All of this will show The strength and quality, Of your own, Humanity.
He’s sentimental, Just a fool. With his dreams, Or so it seems. Moon light, Scented roses, Pose a question, That pulls, At his heart. Can he start? He must, Or he will go mental. Thinks he’s got a virus, Maybe he goes viral. Boom Boom, Whats that sound? Someone at the door. Never sure who. Does he answer, Or not? He forgot. Butt naked. Too much juice Feeling kinda loose. Love, like a cancer, Eating him away. He will see, Another day.
Love makes fools of us all, Where even the clever fall. Try to fight it, You will lose. Has no respect for age Or for any rules, It's just the life we choose. Often dangerous and cruel; We gamble every time, Hoping for a win. We always turn the wheel. But just remember this We will trade anything For one moment of bliss.
I wish I could be your "shoes", Cosseted in leather Holding your pretty feet. Striding confidently In some exclusive shopping street. I wish I could be the "nylons" That cling to your thighs. The sighs I would give, To the chaff and sizzle As you walk by. I wish I could be your "underwear". Seeing you stare, pulling faces At what you dare to wear tonight, But you are no fool, Looking for something that leaves no traces. Don’t fuck on a first date, That’s not cool. You went and broke the rule. You don’t have them And nor do I.
