I need you (now)

I see your beautiful face in everything I do
I have tried everything to just forget you
my mouth waters in hunger for your taste
I walk in constant circles colliding with my haste

you run away and hide you think I am crazy
just because I refer to you sometimes as Daisy
or is it the look in my eyes that tells you I'm mad
I passed insanity yesterday I mean it's really bad

your eyes burn a hole in the back of my brain
so soft and sensuous I struggle to explain
those lips so delicious my appetite is burning
can I say more clearly how much I am yearning

your golden hair shinning like Jason's hidden fleece
when I look upon your body I feel my presure increase
the curves spell out danger if you're moving to fast
when I feel my body next to you I want it to last

what other way can I explain how bad I need your touch
before I explode inside I need you so **** much
I'll write it in the skies from my chariot somehow
my darling babydoll I need you and I need you (now)

I Need Your Love

When you're gone I feel lonely,
when you're away I feel blue,
that's because you're my one and only,
I'm so in love with you

C'mon baby sit by the fire,
tell me about the things that you do
you're my one and only desire,
I'm so in love with you

I want your love
now baby,
oooo I need your love

Remember the first time I saw you,
fell on my face like a fool,
hypnotized by your smile,
felt like a kid in school

you graciously pardoned my stumble,
eyes so kind, such a smile,
I was caught and you were humble,
I fell in love with you

I want your love
now baby,
oooo I need your love

Time has treated us kindly,
our love is still going strong,
trust, caring, devotion,
we'll just keep holding on

Inside

Inside of me
is a man that I knew
who could face these changes
who could exchange these faces

inside of you
is a dream that I see
and now the echos of voices
yes these echos are calling to me

Insufficient Evidence

I tried to have you arrested
I called the cops and feds
I told them you had stolen my heart
since then I've been on meds

they asked me for positive proof
there could be no doubt
you can't just make a claim
I don't care how much you shout

I said hey take a look at me
my face is red my breathing very short
I'm nervous as an expectant father
now where do I file this report

do you have any pictures
just how will we know
I bet she is beautiful huh
her smile has a special glow

are you kidding me my friend
she is the queen for all seasons
she takes away my breath
and her beauty confounds my reasons

I know she will drive me mad
so now I'm pleading my defense
it looks serious so don't tell me please
I have Insufficient Evidence

Intense Workout

I try to workout diligently,
at least 3 times a week,
the muscles are tight and strong,
I'm certainly no geek,

I pump the iron, walk the track,
listen to my tunes,
but lately I've been distracted,
watching for ms June

She's quite the lovely lady,
recently moved to this place,
she is French, with sweet accent,
puts smiles on my face,

vous êtes l'homme élégant she says to me,
her eyes sparkle bright,
I have no idea what that means,
so I just smile with delight

sometimes she reaches out,
and touches me on my arm,
de tels forts muscles she says,
and this makes me warm,

I need to study French I guess,
so I won't look the fool,
for all I know, there is a chance,
she is calling me a tool

the thing that's bad about this all,
is I work out way too long,
trying to impress this girl,
make her think I am King Kong,

now my muscles are getting sore,
I'm working way to hard,
if I keep this up much more,
I'll be searching for my doctor's card

In the cold distance

words of pleasure
words of lust
turn the soul unto dust

thoughts of kindness
thoughts so sweet
bow thee now before thy feet

for the tower is watched by heavens princes
for lovers who come and go
and there are many here amongst us
who plain and simply cannot know

dreams of splendor
dreams so vast
all the precious time has passed

too much confusion
time is the thief
searching now for some relief

the code you speak of is hidden away
you make seek but will not find
we lay our weary heads to rest
try to untangle our troubled mind

in the cold distance
too far to see
explanations of our misery

the wildcat's howl
the solar wind growl
our world remains a mystery

Ionized

my atoms are being supercharged,
can't tell if that's a positive thing
when my electrons receive a gain,
I have this tendancy to dance and sing

particles here and particles there,
paired or not doesn't matter
even or odd is still the same,
hard to stablizie with all the clatter

cosmic dust results from collisions,  
now the protons are taking charge
its the same thing for the molecules,
the small as well as the large

the charging particle is the ion,
can't deny there is an attraction
like the soul of a searching lover,
reaching for it's matching faction

the lips caress the positive,
while the eyes seek out connection
life from the past, life from the future,
once again brought into the collection

sparkling kisses in the comets tail,
the fiery head's mission realized  
supernova explosions are all around,
good God almighty, I've been ionized

I Pledge My Love

everyday my heart looks in the mirror
it pleads with me to please let it be free
let it run to be with the one it loves so deeply
because each day it dies a little longing can't you see

I struggle trying to get thru each day
it becomes harder and I'm certain that it shows
frustration makes the mind play stupid tricks
saying selfish words and you're the one who knows

my life feels so empty wanting you
and as I watch yet another friend pass away
my heart cries knowing it can't be where it wants
and leaves me wondering if it can take another day

I pledge my love forever to you my friend
maybe I will meet the Perly one at Heaven's gate
if that will be my final reward my destiny
I swear to you my love will forever wait

Is there a reason

is there an aisle, for the pile, for just a while
a box, that holds rocks, and room for my socks
  a clamp, to put on my cramp, hold my stamp
   a day, when I can say, it's gone my way
    an eye, made for a fly, without a sty
     a flag, or a paper bag, to cover the drag queen  
      a goat, that you know will float, without a boat
       a house, for my mouse, a lacy blouse
        an imagination, for a nation, needing salvation
         a jeepers, without a creepers, and no peepers
          a kite, that flies alnight, until it's right
           a lesson, learned from confesson, without guessin
            a mole, in every hole, who likes rock and roll
           a nerd, who looks like a bird, that's what I heard
          an oil, our waters will boil, you've ruined the soil  
           a potion, or a lotion, that enhances the motion
          a queen, whos really keen, on old James Dean
         a reason, for commiting treason, in any season  
        a space, in this place, to put my face
       a time, to do my rhyme, is it a crime
      an Ull, unknown to Krull, whose blade is dull  
     a vacuum, in every room, or just a broom
    a way, to ever say, you need not pray
   a Xe, to strong for me, a trace I see
  a yak, the color black, behind my back
a zama, in Alabama, Phi Slamma Jamma

I surrender

I wish it would have ended differently
I wish it would have been like the beginning
like a couple of high school kids
we were both so excited

I'm not sure the excitement ever left
it certainly didn't for me I know
but it changed we changed

I surrender all my thoughts
they still are about you

I surrender my lonely heart
it still misses you so bad

I surrender all my tears
they still fall for you

I surrender

Itch in my Brain

There's an itch in my brain, and I just can't scratch it
it's been there now, for almost 14 days
went to see my doctor, he said, just can't explain it
I have looked at it now in over 50 different ways

Do you think it's a tumor, could it be it's a growth
I need to get some rest now, I'm feelin like a putz
no he said, you can eliminate them both
I'm more concerned about the swelling in you nuts

he stared at my crotch, and kind of shook his head
said it looks pretty bad, you might need a transfusion
I grabbed him by the collar, “it's my brain” I said
this whole crotch thing, leaves me in confusion

Well let me take another look, just 1 more time
I must have missed something, though I don't know why
what's that sound I hear, it sounds like a chime
no by jove, I think I've found a fly

there's a fly in my head, is that what's wrong
can you get it out, do I need an operation  
sounds like the lyrics to a Todd Rundgren song
you need to call someone else, I'm going on vacation  

So that's the way it is, that's the way it's going
there's a song in my brain, and my girl has left me cold
so that's the real itch, is my broken heart showing
guess I'm not crazy, just tired and old

I Thought She Was Different

I thought she was different
she seemed so fresh so new
I thought she really cared for me
I laid my heart out for her to take
well she did take it and she was fresh
and she was new and different
except things kept repeating themselves
the fresh and the new began to fade
she wasn't new or different at all
she was just like the other
she loved to stroke my heart
and make me feel like the luckiest
man in the world until she was sure
I was sufficiently hooked into her charms
until I wanted nothing more but to be in her arms
then I was just a bother to her
I no longer appealed to her challenge
you know what that feels like
to be down on your hands and knees
and have someone grind their high heel
into the back of your hand
but you know what
after a day a week a month
she would be back throwing her kisses
once again stroking my heart
and once again I fell
the number of times I fell
are too numerous to count
it is so easy to fool a fool you know
I thought she was different

It looks like rain

gosh I had big ideas I was hoping to be someone
something went wrong with my carefully plotted plan
I stopped to take a look when I clearly should have run
sweet distractions caused the crap to hit the fan

I convinced myself that I could surely make this work
I mean after all it was just a harmless little trek
but this light blinded me and made my blood perk
then I felt the teeth of love bite me on the neck

the sun shined brightly as I walked in a zombie trance
fields of flowers stretched as far as the eye could see
birds singing melodies so sweet as I saw her face advance
she became more beautiful her glow enveloped me

I knew this must surely be someones elses dream
this did not fit at all into my simple minds design
then the clouds began to gather no more gentle stream
the wind began to howl and storms in a distant line

the sun slowly disappeared from the sky turning grey
the thunder clapping and winds sounding like a train
I awakened from my deep sleep and I heard someone say
yes my friend it most certainly looks like rain

It must have been a Dream

I was floating out in space
on a pillow of soft white clouds
a golden light shown on my face
above the hoard of cheering crowds

trumpets were sounding everywhere
music that I had never heard before
I could feel touch from out of nowhere
the people clapped and let out a thoundrous roar

Oh, I know it must have been a dream
cause you were there along side of me
this was what I've wanted all along
I did not want to wake up from this dream

we've been neighbors but never ever lovers
you always been just my friend
playin peek-a-boo underneath the covers
I never wanted those days to end

all thru high school we hung around
sometimes we even double dated
talking about our dreams layin on the ground
wrestling around joked about things we hated

Oh, I know it must have been a dream
cause we were there sharing kisses
saying words like baby I love you
I did not want to wake up from this dream

It's Good to be the King

The kings of old, the kings of new,
     the highest of all classes

took full advantage of their subjects,
     expecially the lasses

he liked to carress their *******,
     and grab their fine tight *****

his bedroom was never empty,
     for he gave out many passes


he bade them "you must give me more",
     he made their poor hearts quiver

he stripped them of their lovely gowns,
     and in the cold they shiver

when one would, complain out loud,
     do you take me like chopped liver

his knife he would pull, from his belt,
     and from her ear he'd cut a sliver


don't give me ,none of your lip,
     except upon my large ding

and after you, have pleased me well,
     get off you knees and sing

"oh my lord, you are so good",
      "you have the largest thing"

ah yes young maiden, you are correct,
      it's good to be the King

It's Good to be the Queen

We talked before about The kings of old,
    the highest of all classes

as we later found most of these pretentious fools,
     were proved to be big *****

the Queens knew how to live as well,
     and grabbed  their share of lovers

her bedroom was empty if she wanted,
     else she was cleansed by tongues of  others


they begged "my queen  have you had enough",
     she made their poor hearts quiver

she layed there in her warm lovely gown,
     and there naked bodies would shiver

when one would, complain out loud,
     do you take me like chopped liver

her command to the general in charge,
     and from his tool he'd cut a sliver

don't want no knowledge of your lip,
     except when pressed upon my own

and after you, have pleased me well,
     you've made this woman moan

"oh my Lady, you are so good",
      "your sweet flower is so clean"

"ah yes young man, you are correct,
      it's good to be the Queen"

It's the Little Things

I  don't need a castle  
or a mansion of any kind
I don't want a limousine
it's the furthest from my mind

what I need is your gentle touch
your hand upon my face
your soft words of love to me
the scent of your fine lace

yes big things can be fine
they can create a distraction
but when I am all alone
thoughts of you are my attraction

I bet a trip to Paris
would be quite the thrill
or singing with the Fat man
up on Blueberry Hill

a diamond watch or golden ring
either would be the bomb
but walking hand and hand with you
would bring my world some calm

you don't need to write an opera
or a musical for Broadway
just a simple note of hi my love
would make my perfect day

a yacht can be lots of  fun
but I'd prefer a bird that sings
or hear you whisper I love you
yes it's just the little things

I used to be Someone

it wasn't that long ago I was special to someone
I had a lover who would fill my heart every night and day
now I'm just another like you left without no one
it never would have ended if I had my way

but there really wasn't any choice in the matter
a love made in heaven had us heading towards hell
the tears fall now creating droplets of splatter
and you are now the only one I can tell

please don't turn away won't you be my friend
I'm in need of a shoulder to lean my weary head
I promise to be faithful until the very end
I am not perfect you will see in these very words you've read

I've been Insulted Before

yeah sure go on ahead make fun
you do know that you are not the only one
I've been insulted many times before
by narrow minded simple simon fools

yes it is you that I am talking to
who did you think I was referring to
are you surprised that I have feelings
you think you are special at that's cool

but remember for every pain you create
it will return in kind to you just wait
for that's the way the world turns
just another drop in the pool

so go ahead and clap your hands
laugh out loud do hand stands
but before you close your steel shuttered door
remember I've been insulted before

I've Been Waiting

So long, I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone... When you love someone...
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
(Aaah-aaah) maybe I'm wrong
(Aaah-aaah) won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?
(Aaah-aaah) this heart of mine has been hurt before
(Aaah-aaah) this time I wanna be sure
I've been waiting, for a girl like you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) to come into my life (life)
I've been waiting, for a girl like you
(Waiting for a girl) and a love that will survive

I've been waiting (I've been waiting) for someone new
(New) To make me feel alive, ah-ah
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you (waiting for a girl) to come into my life
(Aaah-aaah... Aaah-aaah...)

You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone... Yeah, really love someone...
(Aaah-aaah) now I know it's right
(Aaah-aaah) from the moment I wake up till deep in the night
(Aaah-aaah) there's no where on earth that I'd rather be
(Aaah-aaah) than holding you, tenderly

I've been waiting, for a girl like you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) To come into my life (life)
I've been waiting, for a girl like you
(Waiting for a girl) and a love that will survive
I've been waiting (I've been waiting) for someone new
(New) To make me feel alive, ah-ah
Yeah, waiting (waiting) for a girl like you
(Waiting for a girl) to come into my life

Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh, I've been waiting
Aaah-aaah, (waiting for you) oooh-oooh, oooh
(Aaah-aaah) oooh-oooh, I've been waiting
(Waiting) I've been waiting, yeah
I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting
Won't you come into my life? (Life?) My life?
(It's been so long) I've been waiting for a girl like you
I've been waiting, (I've been waiting) oh-oh

I've Forgotten

I can't remember now
what was the reason again?
the mind tumbling head over tail
searching for something

aha, the reason
but, the reason for what I ask?
it seems it is not the answers
that are so difficult
but rather the questions

so now that I have the answer
just what is the question?

Questions 67 and 68
does anybody really care?
does anybody care that nobody cares?

It should matter shouldn't it?
Pushed to the edge
pulled to the corner

seek and ye shall find
find what?
How would you know?
I may have known at some point

but right now,
this instance

I've Got Rhythm

fear struck as my heart reached two-o-five
the pace was beginning to be too much
we've slowed it down and I'm alive
I needed the doctors intelligent touch

it wasn't just as simple as slowing down
in silent moments dropping to forty six
thoughts of no longer wearing a crown
In desperate need of a balanced fix

I'm back at the table writing simple words
who can know are these the very last
searching for the magic words of nerds
missing the things that have gone so fast

I wanted to be a doctor, save the lives of those in need,
I wanted to be a lawyer, when I was thinking gr eed

I wanted to be the mayor, take my city to the top,
I wanted to be an actor, hope I don't appear in a flop

I wanted to be a fireman, save the children from the fires,
I wanted to be a copper, catch the robbers, cheats and liars

I wanted to be a priest, help the sinners save they're souls,
I wanted to be a lover, playing the lead man roles,

I wanted to be a father, raise my children to be proud,
I wanted to be a weather guy, explaining the evening cloud

I wanted to be scientist, discover new things in this life,
I wanted to be a husband, have me a pretty wife

I wanted to be a builder, bridges, and buildings reaching high,
I wanted to be a  analyst, wondering why people cry

I wanted to be a soldier, keeping my country from harm,
I wanted to be a human, helping my fellow man stay warm

I won't have to cry no more

If I never open my heart again
then I won't have to feel the pain
feel my tears like the falling rain

If I never love again
then I won't have to stay on guard
but will my heart turn too hard

If I never dream again
then I won't ever be left alone
will I no longer reach to be someone

If I never feel again
then I won't ever have to care
will I just sit here and stare

If nothing ever matters again
then no one can ever close my door
and I won't have to cry no more

Jeopardy

be sure to make your answers
in the form of a question
these are the rules of this game
not just merely a suggestion

a true friend  
what is it that is so hard to find?

a broken heart
what is it you are so afraid of?

a special dream
what is best when shared with another?

a thousand times or more
how many times must I ask these questions?

Jocks

While lovely Eileen entertained us all,
with her wonderful words of lace and satin,
it made me want to answer the call,
make guys proud, like General Patton

the guys wear jocks to cloister their tools,
the perfect size so hard to find,
need to protect those precious jewels,
from errant kicks and grabs from behind

most are just elastic and cotton,
some are furry you get from **** shops,
absorb the sweat they smell quite rotten,
pick up with 1 finger or handles of mops

the backs are weird like gives you ******,
when grabbed by the band and yanked real hard,
guys in gym like to snap like frozen veggie,
then try to get you on their dance card

cause now you can sing those real high notes,
your face quite large like you have the mumps,
squeal like girlie man being attacked by goats,
don't bend over you expose those rumps    

but it is important to protect your package,
keep is safe for your favorite gal,
not real good to have swollen sackage,
not even if choice is a guy named Hal

JSTFU

Words and thoughts come tumbling out
I try giving them considerable thought
but sometimes I let my emotions takeover
if I feel I've been slighted and I'm feeling distraught

yes I am emotional with my heart on my sleeve
I feel I try to give at least what I get
trying kindness in every way I can conceive
when things just don't work out I worry and fret

sometimes things just cannot be helped
and it's unfair for me to hold out my cup
wishing or ranting won't change anything  
I need to learn sometimes it's best to j.s.t.f.u

so I'm gonna work on keeping my cool
accept the beauty of things that I get
not get upset and act like a fool
do I think I can do this – gosh I hope so

Jungle Jim

I step quietly through the foliage
each step one foot in front of the other
thorny bushes reaching out to grab me
large webs with entrapped insects
being very careful watching intently
poisionous snakes are abound
an occasional grunt from gators
warning not to come any closer
they guard their young viciously
my exploring buddy Jim warning me
about the wild boar seen lately
large prehistoric looking birds swooping
and making screeching sounds
finally I hear I got it I got it
the treasure we had been seeking
now to retrieve it and make our way
our way back out of this jungle
look out for the huge spider I yell
and Jim ducks just in time
we finally see the clearing ahead
whew! Wasn't sure we would get back
dam Jim next time be more careful
next time hit your 7 iron instead
now what did you get on that hole?

Junior saw it Happen

we were lovers and we were friends
I felt in my heart that she was the one
I would have traveled the worlds ends
but what I heard fell on me like a ton

she was seen with a supposed friend of mine
holding hands and giving out sweet kisses
in the movie house down on 4th and Vine
I'm left with this bitter taste of dead fishes

Junior was walking by and he saw it all
he said he was shocked by this display
so he got on his phone and gave me a call
I was gonna ask her to go steady just today

guess I was the silly fool to think she was mine
love is such a folly guess girls can be so fickled
maybe I can get my brother to buy some wine
and me and Junior can go get ourselves pickled

but you can bet the day after I get straight
I will probably need me a real good slappin'
so I don't go and beg her for another date
maybe it was a mistake but Junior saw it happen

Just Blowin Smoke

professor of nostalgia
demander of what's right
I can do in just a while
while others take all night
smarter and stronger than most
do you think this is a joke
am I being serious
or am I just blowin smoke

I can do a mile
in 3:45 flat
I am over 200 pounds
but I sure as hell ain't fat
I'll roll us up a fatty
and offer you a ****
then we can do a power hit
and keep on blowin smoke

my father was a hard-nosed cop
my mom a ballet dancer
he came home late one night
and caught this guy trying to pants her
he kicked his *** back and forth
and his jaw he severely broke
the dude said it doesn't hurt at all
he most surely was blowin smoke

I used to be a singer
in a rock and roller band
I could play a hot guitar
until I broke my hand
I dropped hot ash in my crotch
while trying to give this lass a poke
the wrist could not support my fall
now you know I'm blowin smoke

Just Make Love To Me

their bodies spinning
ever so close
loquacious meandering
with thoughts so verbose
they touch hands
from many miles apart
opening their eyes
opening their hearts
it's been a while she whispers
just make love to me
don't make it serious
just let it be

friends from the future
lovers from the past
renewing connections
no plans to make it last
he cries out loud
oh I've missed you so
if I hold you close
I may never let go...

Just the Facts

just give me the facts ma'am
that's all I need
the rest is just conjecture
the planting of a seed

did you see him or did you not
was he tall dark and handsome
did he steal away your heart
and now holding it for ransom

I cannot arrest your make believe
but I will follow every lead
you just have to tell the truth
did he make your torn heart bleed

I'll book him now apply the cuffs
throw him in the clink
it seems you are about to cry
at least you seem on the brink

but tears will not help me
they disguise the true known acts
so wipe your eyes my darlin'
just tell me the facts

Keeping Love Alive

I wake up every morning
with a smile upon my face
that's because
I'm thinking of you
you make everything
fill everything with grace
we work together
that's just what we do

it isn't hard
it comes so naturally
is seems so easy
sharing thoughts and dreams
helping each other out
keeping everything in sync
one common goal
riding on Life's moonbeams

keeping love alive
that's our every goal
keeping love alive
we're living out our dreams
keeping love alive
in our own special way
keeping love alive
keeping love alive

Kissed

I just kissed the lips of an angel
sparkling flashes fill my mind
my love for her spans all time and distance
though she is not here with me
I can feel her presence as I gaze
into the eyes of her reflection in my mind
I kissed her lips and felt the surge
of her warmth and love
her golden hair draped over her shoulder
framed out in her blue squiggly patterned shirt
as the days go by sometimes I wonder
will our love last against these odds
then today she writes me a note
telling me her gentle desires of making love
how her lips touched the reaching tower
how she lowered herself upon
the rigid saddle horn of her lover
excitement filled her voice
and entered my body
as did jealousy and hunger
now I look at her and know
how much I love her
and how desperately
I feel her
want her
need her ....

Kitten Purrs

I hear the soft sound of
internal pleasure
knowing that she is satisfied
makes me feel good
her whiskers gently rub
against my face and shoulder
her soft wet nose placed
so close to my eye
I can see the gold tinge
in her iris
I rub her soft warm fur
wrap her tail
around my fingers
and listen to her
sweet singing purr
the words
Tāmaki Makaurau

Ku Ku Kachoo

what this means
has no bearing on the straits
say this three times fast
and it will open up the gates
another hit of cid
and a token of regrets
a barrel of sunshine
here's looking at you kid
maybe the sound
of a walrus on the roll
just another way to say
for whom the bell may toll

the lads where just being crazy
they were shaking up the tree
to see how many lemons
would fall down the gravity you see
so baby you can drive my car
if that's what you want to do
but if you put a dent in it
I'll be like poison ivy all over you
I'll scratch your itch if you'll scratch mine
just give me something new
if you feel lost in space
just say Ku Ku Kachoo

Landscape of a lost soul

thoughts that fill the page
of an empty heart left all alone
wilted sunflowers line the walkway
of a once blossoming future
neither the sun nor the moon
shine on this barren landscape  
the eyes of the lost sinners of Dante'
look down but offer
no words no wisdom no care
thrown to the side of the road
like left behind waste
the last ounce of dreams
the final hope
withered away
you made it seem so easy

Late Again

I overslept
I knew I would
those **** sleeping pills
take them
and I can't wake up
don't take them
and I can't sleep
even when I sleep
I don't it seems
strange dreams haunt me

who's?

or my own personal?

run run hurry hurry
check the data sets
halt, and catch fire
late again

Let it Rain

her soft lips no longer
whisper I love you in my ear
she no longer feels that way
is exactly what I fear

times and things have changed
someone else is in her dreams
while I lay here holding back
I wonder if she hears my screams

she has always been everything to me
though maybe I have not shown this
afraid to show and now I'm lost
no longer do I taste her kiss

now the tears are falling down
I know she can hear my pain
she turns her back and pretends
guess I'll just let it rain

Let's Start a Fire

You are over there
I am over here
I can see you
looking at me
to see if I
was looking at you
our eyes
going from
need
to desire
burning inside
flames ever higher
why don't we get together
let's start a fire

Whew! Now I am really warm. course I just got back from the gym lol.
