Slave to Love by Bryan Ferry
Mr Ribeiro Nov 2016
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary and there's no escape
To need a woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor

Slave to love
Oho
Slave to love

You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted
Not the chained and bound

The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same

Slave to love
Oho
Slave to love

Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

The storm is breaking or so it seems
We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter, I can see your smile

Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Make it Count
Mr Ribeiro Nov 2016
I am every thing you could possibly ever want
How, when and where
Source energy
Make's me count
Mr Ribeiro Nov 2016
I'm coming back to you
Just like before
I've been a lonely boy
Since I walked out your door
If there's a life for us,
I don't know
But I can't live like this
Anymore

The time I spend alone has nothing to give
It's repetition
I'm coming back to you
Repetition
The only thing I can do

I'm coming back to you
This time to stay
If I've learned one thing
It's that I can't stay away

The time I spend alone has nothing to give
The life I lead alone has nowhere to live
It's repetition
I'm coming back to you
Repetition
The only thing I can do

And I can still recall
How you would hold me
The way a vast wave
Broke so slowly

It's repetition
I'm coming back to you
Repetition
The only thing I can do
Repetition
And we can see this through
It's repetition
I'm coming back to you

For Balance

not unlike

training wheels on a bike

for balance

Coming to You
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
I love
The seeds
You plant
In my mind
Having come to you
For answers
I'd otherwise
Not find

Deep Down
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
I love you
Deep down
I really do
It's unconditional expression
Is a becoming
I can only ever love you
To the extent I love myself
You must believe
That when I leave
It is not to deceive
And when I once again see you
I will be ready to receive you

When Hungry for Change
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
Hungry for change
Feast within
Focus where creation begins
On a knowledge
You’d otherwise not find
Futilely seeking on the outside
A knowledge which  
Bridges heaven
To ears and eye's

By Watching Squirrels Chase
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
There must have been
A scheme
Which heaven's
Had deemed
That love's
To be
Made
Into
The form
Of a game
So every
Being
Gets a taste
At
Giving chase

Who Cares
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016

an exhibition
of break bone addition
worshipping some
chaperoning clock
just dead set
on going off
when the goings
getting tough

Do those Dishes
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
take it from a poet
who know's it
theirs a limit
to the ****
you haven't admitted

now, i aint looking
for your business
just a hint
to do those dishes

and here’s some ethereal soap
the label says
“ people do not complete you “
it'll help get at caked on stains
from any accumulated well wishes
for instance

yeah, so
good luck with the soap

Women at a swim
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
slowly from beneath
tiny little wave’s
heavenly bodies ascend
and divinely portrayed

tight skinned limbs a sway
undulating backs
slip confidently
and concave

gorgeous chests
like two
over sized liquid drops
so appropriately splayed

i toast the air with a kiss
to the glistening rolls of naked hips
again connecting to solid ground
to the rhythm of my heart at play
with its pouncing pound

Who cares about a killing
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
who cares about a killing

that’s a spirits business

and spirit is mysterious

as I currently understand

and is it not said

“ for someone to physically die

their spirit must have first given consent ”

called in the shot

to put certain experience’s to an end

who cares about a killing

when theirs still this life to focus on instead

Within I am Sown
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
This big
beautiful moment
is home
Where within
I am sown

Reaping
Your moans
Your arching heels
Up-stretched
Balanced and composed
Extending your touch
Rooting all
That you hold
Oct 2016 · 527
Wonderment
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
from that which
here to fore
has been sought
i’ve either realized
or simply forgot

from that which
here to fore
has been craved
i’ve seen satisfied
or sustained

being i claim
responsibility
for what i perceive
i now see theirs a direct link
between experience and belief

Equations

Just so you Know
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
i’m sure
i love you
someway
you may say…
and though you may not need
or even want to know
saying so
sits right in my heart
even cues my soul
just so you know

A Visited Rose
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
from springing a kiss

to stretching, holding her close

to now taking notice

of her dangling toes

swaying nice and slow

as does the leaning bulb

of a recently visited rose
Oct 2016 · 209
All the More
Mr Ribeiro Oct 2016
Though her feet
May be sore
I love them
All the more

How I do not shrink
At the chance
To clasp them
And rub fast

Remarking to the lord
...All the more
For such a service
To have scored

Praise
Mr Ribeiro Sep 2016
I offer praise
For all the ways
I notice source
Bring lightness to days

Through people
Places, things
There is a support
No falsity can thwart

Taking any credit
Seems obscene
As its source
I seek
