Her angelic smile is an illusion
A costume sewn with delusions
Underneath her jester games
Is a demon dancing in your flames
The nature of time
Is capricious and constant
It comes and goes
Raining finite moments
Into an endless river
That flows deeply
Drowning generations
While resurrecting
From its boundless depths
New ones to swim
In its eternal waters
Of hope and heartbreak
My ragpicker heart
Is homeless
Without you holding it
Giving it shelter and love
It’s whispering your name
In vain
Searching for a home
Knowing it’s where
Your heart is
We are free but there is no freedom
When we live in fear
We crawl into the cage of our making
Pushed in by the hand of panic
And locked with terror
The bars are made of trembling dread
We wait for someone to let us out
Never realizing we hold the key
I need a sign of you to resurrect my heart
Maybe a flicker of your heated smile
A taste of your lips, a sweet kiss
Or a quick caress of your silky touch
Anything to remind me
I’m still alive
The rhythm of your mind
Plays a seductive melody
Of captivating subterfuge
That hums along my chords
Singing of sweet romance
While lying to my fractured heart
She travels along his desire
Needing a little lust and fire
In search of sweet, erotic bliss
Craving hands and a firm kiss
Finds it in the heavy weight of his body
In their fervent, desperate lips
And the thrust of his firm, sensual hips
Long years have taught her
The more she travels
Every place and no place are home
Knowing her weaknesses
Makes her fragile and gives her strength
Her heart is forever young
Even as wrinkles map
Lines laughter and sorrow
On her skin and many sins
The earth is tilting
Sliding into tainted uncertainty
Tinted with fear and foreboding
Reach for me
I’ll hold us with love and trust
And the belief
Everything will be all right
Together
She wanted him for forever and always
He desired to be wrapped
In her passion and problems
Until the end of time
Through the good and bad
They struggled and succeeded
Failed and fell in love
Again and again
Heart to soul
Together
