Boy

Boy why you hiding, why you hiding under a shadow

Those eyes tell me a truth as full as your lips

Don’t you hide the secret to the treasure in San Juan

A Jewel of the hips that sway, curvaceous being of fire

The touch surrounding flames like the sand and the night and the beach

Boy o boy, can’t wait to tell you boy, the place I wanna reach

The home I wanna build, for us and ours, with this heart full of light

Boy why you fight, why you push me away

Day one you teased me with smooches

Your touch tickled my brain to the point of meltdown

But now my little angel-dust, must bust out a new foot to lean on and learn from

Cuz his mortal human has crept into the shadow of your eyes

And the secret of your lies? The ways that you say, please baby stay

Those grunts out my mouth, the groans in my pillow, musky aroma of love

Fascinating a swag so fresh and so familiar, surprises left and right of the one you already knew

Smooth flesh encasing a suave flava just waiting to burst out

O Boy why you cry, why you tearing on my shoulder

Enable our fable to end happily ever after

The dance that shows one to the other

We are bare in the flow of the rhythm!

Rhythm I never had but somehow learned following your eyes and the curves of your flames

But now it sizzles, your eyes unknown

Lips sewn and wasted, a body so stiff and pale

Boy where are you?
