A Baring Absence of Love

To see it all

As I lie

Cry

And wonder why

You won’t fall



Across greenest grass

Money and power

Sunlit hours

Colorful flowers

Dirty without class

Muddy and ugly

Hug and snuggly

Will you still love me?

Or will you pass

Baring no love



Across rivers run

Tears and fears

Cheers and jeers

All the years

Waters and sun

Old and new

Will you be true?

Bare and nude

Or won’t be the one

Baring no love



Across blowing winds

Rumors and words

Other girls

This whole damn world

Above my sin

Will you fly so high?

And not lie

Never say goodbye

Or will you sin

Baring no love



It is not enough

To think so

Live with no

And be so low

While you bare no love

Orange You Glad

Ripe

Season of love

Do you like?

Am I enough?



Fallen, picked, or plucked

From so many to be

If I have such luck

I guess we shall see

To only… or be in love

You and me



As I’m stripped and peeled

The inside of me

My fate is sealed

Is this happening?

To know, to feel

With you to be



The taste, the rush

A sweet confection

Becoming us

Natural selection

Love and lust

Lips an intersection



My beautiful girl

A flood

Not one word

The flavor, the touch

My world

This love



But this season

This time

Doesn’t look a thing like Jesus

So you won’t be mine

I’ll have no reason

And you’ll say goodbye



Ripe

Far better to be rotten

Won’t love me right?

My love for you stoppin’

More In The Closet...

In the dark, the shades and the hues

Only you I see

Not the pinks and the blues

But you and me

Call us doomed

As long as we can be



In the dark, is that cotton?

The touch the feel

Isn’t rotten

Pleasure is too real

And who wants to stop it

A righteous kiss to seal



In the dark, how much did we spend?

Is there really nothing?

Or only sin

There’s something

Seven minutes again

More for loving



In the dark, until another day

But let it be night

Don’t feel like dressing anyway

Out there it’s so bright

Let’s just stay

This love is so right



In the dark, we don’t see the mess

Let us be blind

Maybe assess

That love is kind

You don’t need your dress

Girl you’re so fine



Amazing, just the way you are

In the light

But in the dark

Our artificial night

Love won’t be marred

We will be so bright

A work of art

Keep it in the closet… all right
