I don't want to dispel you,
much less repel you
from these things you may already know.
I seek not redemption,
I'm not worth salvation,
I just wanted to see the show.

Let us forgo the pity, the pious,
and pompous
and share just a thought or two.
Life in illusion, the ***,
and confusion.
With no understanding or clue.

Of course I adore you.
I long to explore you.
Your crevices and your thoughts.
I won't allow you to blame me,
much less shame me.
This cheetah isn't changing his spots.

Yes I'm convicted
but it's you who's conflicted.
I know exactly where I stand.
I've been through the trial,
I'll wait for your smile.
It's better when it isn't planned.

I still remember her breast,
along with the rest.
I imagine it looks nice in the sun.
Close your eyes
and I'll tell you no lies.
To my heart your words hold a gun.

I'm caught in your current
I spin like a torrent.
When the sound of your silence expires.
Hamper me naught,
in your web I am caught.
I'll be here till you decide to retire.
