7 seas
Let me circumnavigate your lips with a sailing kiss. This romance of sinking ships caused by siren songs must end. Swirling compasses point to mated souls, first or last doesn't matter. I'll soar these shores, living wave to wave, till I see you in my horizon.

Again
What will never come again? / She asked me for days on end. / What will never be again?

A less then better best
Put a bullet in my chest, lay my heart to rest, I've given it my best, but i'm tired of this test. / This crest on my vest is tattered and torn, worn out from the time I was born. / Like lightning is a broken bottle I've lost the spark, false starting after missing my mark.

A son's greatest strength
A son's greatest strength is his father, the man who should try to mold you not into his image but into a image not yet seen. A better image, stronger and wiser. A son's greatest sadness is his father's death. Watching that strength die is not a swift pain, its sting is not easily remedied. That pain truly never passes, for unlike death, this pain is eternal. Life is pain, to live without is to die. So we must take this pain, this sadness, this eternal thorn in our side and turn it into our strength. Stronger, more vibrant and bright. We must take those memories we have and hold on dear to them, cherishing them, even as the voices fade with the passing of time. The face, the smile, and the light that shined so brightly in their eyes shall remain. A son's greatest strength is his father and father's greatest strength is his son.

****** Lips, So Sweet, So Savory
She ate them by the handfuls. / Devours them without hesitation. / Sweet fruit, crimson coated lips.

Bluffing with loaded aces
It feels like I'm cornered at a round table. / Telling tales of fables to a bunch of cut throat liars who'll slip my wrists if they found the loaded ace up my sleeve. / It's no heart but for me it beats.

DayDreams
Daydreams of you haunt me at night, the frightening sight of me holding you tight. / Breathing heavy, sweating, looking for a lip to bite. / It might be nightmarish to stare into your cold eyes, but cold stares don't lie,

Deadliest Eye Candy
Your beauty is like poison, yet I indulge with each dose I take. / This vision of a flawless reflection makes perfection feel fake. / Your beauty is breathtaking, yet I breathe deeply every chance I get.

Dis.Re.Spectre.Ful
These ghosts who haunt my house / These memories who haunt my mind / These cold sweats at night, aches, and pains through dreaming.

Epic Word Play
This is my Epic word play, like crippling cliches, putting Shakespeare on a delay, my sentences run a relay. / I speak so quickly you need a replay, but it's still too slick, thats what she say. / I bring dismay like a dark cloud on a clear day, roar so loud I make the lightning pray.
