Love And Desire


There are so many things I want to say
That have already been said
So many things I want to do
That have already been done
I stand in confession of the irrelevance of it all
Love and desire have a price that I am paying still
I am wiser for the nothingness left behind
Just as the emptiness within gnaws at my soul
I curse this burning world of straw men and women
Fools in the distance
Clowns without a circus anymore
It helps if you can laugh at the absurdity of it all
Being bold enough to blindly walk on
Oblivious to the destruction that awaits
Love and desire have a price
That I am paying still.

Every single day I got a heartache coming my way
I don't wanna say goodbye baby
But look at the tears in my eyes
I don't wanna say goodbye mama
But look at the way you made me cry
Every way that's nice you show
You've got a heart that's made of ice
And I know

Fire and water
Must have made you their daughter
You've got what it takes
To make a poor man's heart break
A poor man's heart break

Lover you turn me on
But quick as a flash your love is gone
Baby I'm gonna leave you now
But I'm gonna try and make you grieve somehow

Fire and water
Must have made you their daughter
You've got what it takes
To make a poor man's heart break
A poor man's heart break
And my heart is breaking...

I don't wanna say goodbye baby
But look at the tears you made me cry
Every way that's nice you show
You've got a heart that's made of ice
And I know

Fire and water
Must have made you their daughter
You've got what it takes
To make a poor man's heart break
Fire fire and water
Must have made you their daughter
You've got what it takes
To make a poor man's heart break

“In secret we met - In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee After long years, How should I greet thee? - With silence and tears.”

 ― George Gordon Byron

Let Me Love You Like Love Should Be


Let me love you like love should be
A babbling brook leading slowly
To roaring rhythmic ocean tides
Fireworks in Spring
Tender, passionate kisses under glowing moonlight
Walk with me within a dark forest of desire
Feel my hunger and my pain
This unwavering ecstasy that is carnal animal lust
Fall with me deep down into a chasm of Sin
Then climb back up with me
As we awake in the morning light
Never let me go in your heart and mind
Press your smooth body against my muscled sculpted form
Remember everything
In visions and dreams when we part
Stay with me when all seems lost and ready to implode
As I wipe the tears from your eyes
And comfort your shuddering body in the night's solitude
Walk with me like this is our last day together
Every moment we meet and make love
Let me love you
Like love should be
Something so simple and easy
Flowing through to eternity
Watching your eyes gently close
As I caress your body like a soft feather
To the sound of your slow breathing.

MOTLEY CRUE - "Dr. Feelgood"

Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's runnin' a gang
But I hear he's doin' okay
Got a cozy little job sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candy cane

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's getting paid
Jimmy's got it wired, law's for hire
Got it make in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he'll always be found
Selling sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy's town

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

I've got one thing you'll understand (Dr. Feelgood)
He's not what you'd call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)
Got one thing that's easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood oh yeah

He'll tell you he's the king of these Barrio streets
Moving up to Shangri La
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two time loser running out of juice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumor going round
Jimmy's going down
This time it's gonna stick

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand (Dr. Feelgood)
Some people call him an evil man (Dr. Feelgood)
Let him introduce himself real good (Dr. Feelgood)
He's the only one they call feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)

I've got one thing you'll understand (Dr. Feelgood)
He's not what you'd call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)
Got one thing that's easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)

JOHNNY CASH - "Hurt"

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything 

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt 

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here 

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt 

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.” 
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

Learning To Swim

I'm overcome by emotion
Set adrift in the emptiness of you
Wandering an ocean of despair
I remember that barren look in your eyes
And drown
Forever 
In what we never had.

 JOURNEY    

"Stone In Love"

Those crazy nights, I do remember in my youth
I do recall, those were the best times, most of all
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
She found me singing by the rail road track
Took me home, we danced by moonlight

[Chorus:]
Those summer nights are callin',
stone in love
Can't help myself I'm fallin'
stone in love

Old dusty roads, led to the river
Runnin' slow
She pulled me down, and in clover
We'd go 'round
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
Oo the memories never fade away
Golden girl, I'll keep you forever.

[Chorus]

“There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.”

Step right up and don't be shy,
Because you will not believe your eyes.
She's right here behind the glass
And you're gonna like her,
Cause she's got class.
You can look inside another world.
You get to talk to a pretty girl.
She's everything you dream about
But don't fall in love

She's a beauty
One in a million girls,
She's a beauty.
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie?

You can say anything you like,
But you can't touch the merchandise.
She'll give you every pennies worth,
But it will cost you a dollar first.
You can step outside your little world.
You can talk to a pretty girl.
She's everything you dream about
But don't fall in love

She's a beauty
One in a million girls,
She's a beauty.
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie?

“Love is a serious mental disease.” 
― Plato, Phaedrus

The Ghost Of My Love


My love is the thunder before the rain
The heartache and pain before the fall
Everything I told you it all was true
A dark forest before the mountain
The stone castle on a jagged peak
It all waited for us like a dream within our grasp
Passion it calls out in whispers
Like the breeze after a storm passes in the night
I remember the fire and the fury
The smoke and faded memories turned to dust
My love rises from the rubble and devastation
And speaks in a haunting silence
A ghost from the past alive for a moment
In words of barren lust and sweet remembrance
Passing into nothingness
Before startled eyes.

Kane Roberts - "It's Only Over For You"

I see your face, as I look in the mirror
I turn around and you're gone
So here I stand, reminded that it's over
But I keep holding on
Your love's like a chain
And it's wrapped all around me
But there's nothing on earth I can do

It's only over for you, oh
I know I should be strong
But I know, if I see you again
It's only over for you, oh
You can see it in my eyes
It ain't over for me
It's only over for you

I hear your voice, in a room full of strangers
I close my eyes and you're near
I've got no choice, till my heart stops it's bleedin'
And my eyes dry from these tears
I lie about the pain
As I walk through the fire
But nothing can change what is true

It's only over for you, oh
I know I should be strong
But I know, if I see you again
It's only over for you, oh
You can see it in my eyes
It ain't over for me
It's only over for you

I didn't have the guts to make you stay
Now I know it's best this way
So if you see me on the street
You better walk away

'Cause it's only over for you, oh
I know I should be strong
But I know, if I see you again
It's only over for you, oh
You can see it in my eyes
It ain't over for me
It's only over for you

Girl you know it's over
But I keep holding on

It's only over for you, oh
I know I should be strong
But I know, if I see you again
It's only over for you, oh
You can see it in my eyes
It ain't over for me
It's only over for you
