I miss the nights we called out to each other
I miss the ones spent sprawled out on one another
like long lost lovers the first time our lips met
Barely ready, but on you my heart was set
the wind came in and washed away my worries
You send the butterflies I’ve got into flurries

I’m thinking of all the things I should have said
But now I will never have the chance
Of all the cute little things I kept in my head
As I reminisce in our recalled romance

your skin was a map guiding me to safety
With your soft arms you did belay me
I’ll trace your tattoos with my tongue
Because we are happy and we are young
Hoping the later doesn’t make the first due
Because I’d love to grow old with you

I’m thinking of all the things I should have said
But now I will never have the chance
Of all the cute little things I kept in my head
As I reminisce in our recalled romance

I hope that these hopes don’t remain so
Because you mean more then you’ll ever know,
That tale would take a life time or two to tell
and the full attention of you, my beautiful belle
So I guess that’s all ask of you, a life time to say
How perfect you are in every single imaginable way

Every time you’re feeling down
You always count on me to be there
when you’re boyfriend is gone
You always count on me to care
But I don’t want to be the one
that you’ll never let be your only
the one still waiting by the phone
waiting for you to get lonely

Say something, say anything
give me some sort of closure
every time I try to get away
You end up just pulling me closer
every question that I supply
is answered the same exact way
Why are you doing this to me?
“I don’t have anything to say"

why do you string me along
If you’re better with a new boy
When did I become so fleeting
when did I become your old toy
I want so bad to walk away
but I feel you’re holding back
there are some things left undone
there’s still an answer I lack

Say something, say anything
give me some sort of closure
every time I try to get away
You end up just pulling me closer
every question that I supply
is answered the same exact way
Why are you doing this to me?
“I don’t have anything to say"

I’ll never find the one
to make vegan pancakes in the morning
I’ll never find the one
to splurge on candies without any warning

I’ll never find the one
who knows the way green tastes like spring
I’ll never find the one
who knows ska and who knows swing

I’ll never find the one
a mouth like sailor, a voice like a siren
I’ll never find the one
with those eyes made to inspire men

I’ll never find the one
Of this one fact I can be certain
I’ll never find the one
That is that, end of story, drop the curtain
Joseph Perales Sep 2010
a pretty face and she’s little waisted
a pretty place and a little wasted
tumble and tip into submission
stumble and slip into position
set all sweating systems to go
as emotions among other things grow

I’ll love you like you won’t believe
you’re the merchant and I’m the thieve
I’ve got a trick slid up inside this sleeve
trust me darling, I will not deceive

that’s just the way the story goes
when we remove our whorey clothes
and get right down unto the bone
the nitty gritty, the solid as stone
I want to get down to the heart of you
I want to feel every last part of you

I’ll love you like you won’t believe
you’re the merchant and I’m the thieve
I’ve got a trick slid up inside this sleeve
trust me darling, I will not deceive    

I will not deceive, please believe
I will not deceive, you best believe
as long as we can receive and relieve
as long as we interweave every eve
darling I would never, could never leave
I will not deceive, I will not deceive

I’ll love you like you won’t believe
you’re the merchant and I’m the thieve
I’ve got a trick slid up inside this sleeve
trust me darling, I will not deceive

Subdued and seduced by sounds so sultry
floating with fantastic phonetic finesse
vibrant voices vehicled via visages
the magical message making me a mess

each seconds surrenders me speechless
praying for the process of progress
kissing, caressing, conspire in concision
affection and adoration an admirable ambition

Subdued and seduced by sounds so sultry
floating with fantastic phonetic finesse
vibrant voices vehicled via visages
the magical message making me a mess

beautiful belles becoming begrime
rendered ready by my written rhyme
won with wonderfully whispered wit
foment flattery in a fanatic fit

Subdued and seduced by sounds so sultry
floating with fantastic phonetic finesse
vibrant voices vehicled via visages
the magical message making me a mess

The blood pumps in catharsis
saying this is what heart is
this is spirit, this is soul
this is that all impending goal
What some strive but never achieve
what some have but never believe
the wish away upon the star
ways a way away so far
what the dreamers dream of
the one, the only, true love
Joseph Perales Sep 2010
I had a dream
that coerced and caressed me
a dream
That pursued and possessed me

you sat in a field of daisies
in a soft silken sundress
it floated with your turns
with your same finesse

The wind danced you about
sending your hair into a cavalcade
it whipped at the supple sky
then fell again in a cascade

I greeted you with a kiss
on the nape of your neck
And hug around your waist
you faced me for another peck

I awoke still smiling
hating myself for waking
when such a beautiful dream
was still in its making

I had a dream
that coerced and caressed me
a dream
That pursued and possessed me
