You keep eating melons like you're kissing me,
You curl you lips on it like you are missing me

And I stare as the light falls on your eyes,
Everyday it's like a lullaby;

I may have God on my side to feel your skin,
You are an art of Van Gogh to begin with

I know I lie when I say that you are mine,

Into your eyes
It's a disguise, in the sea and the stars
With every thunderstorm I rush into your arms
Then I wake up next to you and you were never mine,

It's a lie, you're by his side.

I was in love with the wind;

He fled away with my heart,
And I could never catch him.

Can you water my lilies,
And let them grow through summer?

I'm a Nymph of the sordid taste,
My ***** is meek from your gnarly breath;

I must run, I must really

Your tongue decollates my vindictive ears,
You selfish, beautiful boy!

Let me grow my Lillies

Let me grow them near your wagon,

I have lost my naive lips
To a grotesque man.

I'm dying on a sunday, mother
My Church is closed, and in a heinous sin,
I miss her blue eyes mother

And her lips to begin with.

I'm a poor man's Vincent, mother
I drew parallel lines on a tree
I skipped the sermons, mother

I skipped to play hide and seek

I'm living in a blue shack, mommy,
There's a bad man with yellow eyes

He's taking me away, mother
It's a place called Paradise.

I'm tired Carlie,
This marriage is a waste,
You have pretty hair, and skin that shines
But I don't want to see your face

I dimmed the light in my mistress's dine
She had charged me with gold and time
I wanted her heart but alas
I realised that it wasn't mine.

I was wet darling,
The kind that bled rain from scents,

The end of March came as a bliss,
You were the chance I'd hardly miss

Little pottery pourie, naked in bed and soaked,
She realised on April first, she was the pretty joke.

And I asked her the fun and frugal
Who else hangs themselves on Christmas walls,
What do they wish to be an astronaut or a pie?
Would they breathe to live or to wake up and die

It is rhetoric in reply
