Can you lace my boots up tight,
The way he used to do?
And can you make the planet shrink
Until there’s just us two?
Can you make me laugh with you,
Can you make me cry?
Does the thought of losing me
Bring a teardrop to your eye?
Do you feel as if we share
One heart, one soul, one mind?
If you were able to open me up,
Would you love the Me inside?
Can you make each moment count,
Simply because it’s spent with you?
And can you lace my boots up tight,
The way he used to do?
I sought you and I found you
But yours was not the face of my dreams
Your twisted cataclysmic mockery
Belied my fears it seems
I needed you to be my lover
I needed you to be my friend
Instead you opened up your soul
And offered me as steep descent
Swallowed up, I became you
Deep inside you, I defamed you
Choking on your bitter bile
With disgust and loathing I did claim you
A parasitic thing, I ate you
My life was yours and it sustained you
Deep inside a hades just for me
I lost myself, and therefore gained you.
My lips have tasted yours
Felt your caress upon my thigh
It made me want more of you
Than I could ever claim as mine
You could show me how to feel
Unlock the doors and set me free
Bring me to extremes
And teach me how to be
Needing you, craving you
Beyond anything that’s come before
I opened myself up to your embrace
And my soul up to your pleading warmth
The joining of our minds as one
A danger to us both it seems
One slip could mean a heartache but
Success could be beyond our dreams
And you slip-shod drove your Metaphor
Into my Simile…
Breaking the code of the language we both used
You tripped the English words across your tongue
Sticky smooth and hung like honey
From a bee’s knees
I tried hard to find
The synaptic gaps inside my mind
And failed…
The sum of your parts
Being greater than your whole.
A complete surprise to meet you there
When first I caught your sultry stare
Your confidence and debonair
Held me spellbound, awkward, to my chair
I watched the hands I longed to touch
And wondered why you cared enough
To try and teach me how to trust
And make me want you oh so much
The copulation of our minds
The erection of our souls entwined
Made my need for you sublime
And the touch of skin on skin divine
You penetrate my deepest fears
You hold nothing sacred that I hold dear
My defenses you do not revere
But something keeps me standing here
You’ll make me risk my heart and soul
And accept nothing that is not whole
My wanton for your gaze is bold
My resistance weakens and grows cold
Replaced now by a fierce desire
A need to feed your tongues of Fire
To watch the blaze in your eyes burn brighter
To reach new heights, to love aspire.
Make me
As the tiniest gold pendant
Simplistic, unobtrusive, unadorned
Rest me
In the soft-swelling
Shadows of your bosom
I will sojourn in Canaan
Where the milk and honey flow
You are my Egypt,
My mother;
I am bound to you
By ties that cannot break
The erection of what was not was
The flames are blazing hot and strong
The burning of that heated buzz
My endurance will not last long
The length and breadth and depth of you
Sliding toward the edge
The dying one’s last breath
The kisses seal the pledge
Like starbursts and spinning ‘
You know that you are winning
You hear my breathing change
Feel my tremoring so strange
I let go because I know
You’ll catch me when I fall
From the hexagon you got me on
Caught up in lust’s enthral
Whisper words into my ear
Tell me the lies I want to hear
Tell me you care
That you’ll always be there
A fabrication so insane
When I don’t even know your name
But I need it
Need to feel it
Need to believe it now
Hold me in your arms of steel
Make me love how you make me feel
This is the only comfort I’m going to get
Tomorrow as soon enough to repent
But I need it
Need to feel it
Need to believe it now
Let me substitute sex for love
Let me claim passion as my drug
Let me pretend them someone else
Let me fuck the demons from myself
And if I should close my eyes
Don’t ask me why, just let me cry
Because I need it
Need to feel it
Need to believe it
Now.
Sweet –
You burn…
I reach out in the dark
Seeking,
Needing
Release for just this once
I climb out of myself
And drown and amber glass
Numb –
You love,
You teach me how to be
A void,
A place,
I don’t have to feel alive…
I don’t have to feel a thing,
As I drown pretence away
Hurt,
You heal;
Stay with me tonight.
Aching,
Craving,
This void I cannot fill –
It all just goes away;
Wash over me tonight.
You make me feel
Like I could be worthwhile
And the way that you smile
Makes me want to smile
You make me think
That there could be some hope
You make me feel
Like I think I could cope
I want you here
I love to feel you inside me
I want your love
Your willingness to hide me
Your strong arms around me
And your hand on my face
Your lips at my breast
And your sweetness to taste
You make me love you
You make me care
I just want to be with you
I don’t care how or where
With you beside me
I could face anything
Your beautiful face
Is like purity’s sting
Life is a vampire
Death is the grave
Inhuman demandings
No way to save
The secret submission
As dark as the world
Fills me entirely
Phantoms unfurled
Blind to my emotions
Can’t read the writing on the wall
Keep me unconscious
So I don’t have to feel at all
A nice, easy feeling
Cold beer on a hot afternoon
That first drag on a cigarette
Since you quit 10 days ago
(for the last time)
It’s having your lover in your arms
And knowing nothing can touch you
You are
You will be
You have been
King for a Day
Fame for 15 minutes
