You catch the eyes of innocense
as you clip the time
in insolence with a smile
Nothing makes you happier
than to see the distress
when you so beguile
Soft and swift you tantalize
the precious lips of love
You nibbled on the ears
while whispering "Only if you please"
You daze and confuse like
the early spring's
cold winter fog
You lie in wait
for your chances
like a five string guitar
Oh ! No one is safe
as you strike another chord
No ! Not even the words
that go aching for the page
Not even the message texted
across the lost one in the maze
The camel made it through
the needle of the eye
He said "Nothing to it"
just before he died
There is a lesson to be learned
in the hollow of our minds
That there will be a tomorow
I can guarantee that in time
But only if you don't
step on the trip wire attached
to the watermelon's vine
So be careful
in everything you do
Or you might wind up wearing
camel hair coats and shoes
