If only I could gaze upon your face once more
To receive the bounty of the gods' splendor
A night of untold wonders, lust and bliss
To break the weight that linger before the kiss

I could work out the words for an eternity
But I hold on to my soul for the sake of brevity
Closer to something that means nothing at all
And from the skies they will hear my call

Down to the heavens and up from hell
The liars and thieves will never tell
How I broke the chance to become it
The towering giant of soul and wit

For where do my fantasies lie?
In crowded dreams where women cry?
For why does the night linger on
When all is said and all is done

I cannot play into this subtle game
For the first rule requires a sense of shame
A hold the sweet ribbons of coal
To ignite the spark and make me whole

A stolen verse or two subsides
In memories that will never hide
A regret will linger amongst her eyes
Until my heart grows to the perfect size.
