Every time I am inexplicably drawn in
To your looming aura
Your gregarious presence
I feel flowers growing in my chest
My heart is a butterfly
Writhing in its chrysalis
Inspired to break free
You have this strange power over me
I feel it so tangibly I’m worried
Can others smell the attraction emitting off me
I’m worried of how palpable it is
How evident and fragrant it is
But I look around and see
It’s only you and I
Starring at each other, longing for the other
It’s only you and I who know what’s happening
We are in our own secret little garden
Harboring our own maddening, sweetening, secret love

I want to run away to Italy
Live with you by the sea
We could spend all our days
Twisting up spaghetti Bolognese
Pack our bags don’t tell a soul
Leave our problems and some notes
“Sorry, but we had to go”
Turn into a couple ghosts
I want to snuggle up on the warm sandy beach
I’ll feed you grapes and kiss your cheeks
Get tangled in steamy sheets
I want to run away to Italy
Live with you by the sea
Live a long life with you, happily

I should be counting sheep
Trying to get some sleep
I’m just laying here in my bed
You’re running Olympic sized marathons, through my head
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
At the cross roads of the morning and the night
Like the way you do for me, it seems
When I should already be having dreams
I’m dreaming, but I’m not in R.E.M like I should be
I’m dreaming about you and what it’d be like if you were here with me
If it was your arms I was in
If you and I were with each other again
I wonder what you’re doing, if you’re really happy where you are
I wonder if that lady laying next to you, who doesn’t fulfill you, is really what you want
I could give you what she lacks
If that’s respect or if just in the sack
I study you, watch you closely, listen to everything you say
I know you’re feeling unimportant and unneeded by her anyway
Cause she doesn’t “treasure you or worship you the way you thought your woman should.”
I already worship the ground you walk on, I could make you feel so good
I’m laying here wide awake thinking of so many things
Mostly you and you only. You know you’re kind of haunting me
I wish I could just tell you all that I see
I notice you when you’re leaving, you always look back at me
I know what you’re feeling
Your imaginations reeling
I know you’re intrigued by my mystery
You’ve got a fantasy
That I’m more than willing to fulfill
You could build
A new life
With a new wife
That understands
Makes plans
Washes your clothes and holds your hand
So now as I lay me down and go to sleep
And pray the Lord your soul to keep
I wish I was the one laying in your sheets
I hope when you wake up, you’re thinking of me

Her eyes sparkled so,
Like sapphires set in pearl cases
Sunshine bouncing off the ocean
Reflecting her exquisite taste
Her dialect was diamonds
Refinement, her vocabulary
Her goal was gold
Her native tongue was luxury
She could outshine the sun
At least that’s what they say
Mystery girl dripping in jewels
Could dazzle the darkest day

Aphrodite never died
She scattered into a billion pieces
And shards of her exist in women
Who understand their ****** power and persuasion
Isn’t a joke

Dip my arrow in perfume
So my fragrance will linger
Draw my bow and shoot his heart
Get him wrapped around my finger

I aim to poeticize my presence
Become a symbol in his mind
“I could give you what you want. I know you’re unhappy with  life.”

Dig my fingers
Into his malleable male essence
Flash him “I want you” eyes
Then quickly return to indifference

Appeal to his inner hero
Then find a distraction
Praise him for a moment
But always delay satisfaction

That is my conclusion
A feminine deduction
Leave a man hungry
That is the key of successful seduction

She wore wisdom and war
Behind the veil of her eyes
A piercing discernment
Her eyes were a monument
Of the undercurrent
Swelling in her soul
