Here are the lyrics for my last three songs. I hope you enjoy them and it inspires you to check out my music tab where you can choose from some 150 or songs to read and listen to.
The Pleasure of Your Embrace 4/7/10
Mighty is the power of an emotion
It can fill you up or tear you down
It can be as deep and as blue as the ocean
Or drift aimlessly like a billowed cloud
Some let feelings be their master
Jerked about like a puppet on a string
I treat feelings as an artist
Their vast colors paint my being
As I wake I breath in deep
Feel refreshed from my deep sleep
I linger awhile holding you
It sets the mood
provides the glue
for what we do
I feel life dancing at my fingertips
A warm glow pulsing from deep within
I walk about in a state of bliss
The endless joy of making sense of all this
What I feel and what I think
In rich earth tones and relaxing tints
Talk to me of what others seek
I find few answers but plenty of hints
Wallowing
In ecstasy
Is how we live
when we stay
inside the day
find time to play
let love hold sway
Baby, time is a fire that
Kindles our thoughts and desires, yet
Someday we’ll run out of fuel
So precious this makes our every move
Eyes are such fickle companions
The new and the supple attract its gaze
Yet, I can’t imagine another body
My hands would rather touch
or my arms would rather hold
I want to feel the pleasure of your embrace
Be your comfort everyday
I Remember 3/6/10
Somewhere south of Eden a man laughs at his pride
Standing in front of a mirror a woman loathes her smile
The master of his desire is his never aging bride
The goal of her devotion is the light in her child’s eyes
Parched and languid evenings plague the restless mind
Watching her sweet baby to her lover’s gaze she is blind
He so wants to please her the treasure of his life
He yearns to be the hero of his family and his wife
No matter what he does he feels so outside
His presence seems a bother his affections denied
Weak and suffocated by the weight of hubby’s needs
She turns to her children to give life meaning
I remember times feeling free
Running fast and skinning knees
I remember endless motion
I remember days of play
Fewer now than yesterday
I remember becoming me
I remember days of passion
Trapped in the trance of satisfaction
I remember your rosy cheeks
I remember making you glow
Having you laugh giving you hope
I remember being your center
I remember feeling infatuation
Aching so bad for your complete attention
I remember but that’s not all
I don’t have to remember
No I don’t have to remember
Do you?
More Hope Less Expectation 2/15/10
Sometimes I wander out loud
Ask questions to fathom the crowd
Pick out the shiny or gray
Add them to life’s wondrous display
Between the sighs and insipid goodbyes
There are moments that transform the real
It could be smiles or the look in one’s eyes
That supply my heart with wings so dear
What did the heroine say?
Did she say it in a masculine way?
Is that why they’re cheering so loud?
It was never that upside down
I multiply instead of divide
Find joy in the depth of things
Tendencies rise as certainties fall
As change and familiar embrace so dear
Each moment I feel the same
Let’s me see it a different way
More hope less expectation
Give hearts some validation
It’s not really good or bad
Just healthy choices that make me glad
More hope less expectation
Kind words give inspiration
Some say they know
Well I say it flows
Amidst all change
Somehow we remain
We feel life
It’s beauty and its strife
It’s alright
Don’t need no paradise
Every time I love
I give myself a hug
Come sing with me
Create more harmony
The rhythm we awake
Create bonds we celebrate
