VERBAL INTIMACY








IF I TOLD YOU I WAS CELIBATE
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO PENETRATE MY MIND
CONNECT MORE INTELLECTUALLY
THAN YOU JUST TRYING TO HIT IT FROM BEHIND
PAY MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT I SAY
AND LESS TO MY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
I'LL PUT ON A SHOW FOR YOU
WHERE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN THE AUDIENCE
MY CONVERSATIONS ARE LIKE FOREPLAY
I WANT TO GET YOU IN THE MOOD
LET ME STRIP YOU OF YOUR THOUGHTS
AND LEAVE YOUR BRAIN IN THE NUDE
DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I LIKE TO DO IT ON THE FIRST DATE
MY INTELLIGENCE IS SWEET
AND I WOULDN'T MIND GIVING YOU A TASTE
LET'S LAY IN THE BED OF KNOWLEDGE
AND SEE WHAT IT IS WE CAN REDEFINE
I'VE CONCLUDED THAT THE BEST LOVE MAKING BEGINS
WITH THE MIND

UNTITLED







After all the dead ends & lessons learned,
through all the heartache & memories burned,
could you open your heart & risk love's deceit?
Or would you lick your wounds & accept defeat?

After all the tears you've cried, the broken pride,
through all the times they've lied, the pain inside,
could you open your eyes to your own surprise?
Or would you sever your ties & accept demise?

After all the sleepless nights, countless fights,
through all the bitter sights, wrongs & rights,
could you open your mind, never look behind?
Or would you stay confined & accept decline?

After all the dreadful name's, childish games,
through all the picture frames, faded flames,
could you open the door, to love once more?
Or would you recall before & be inclined to ignore?

After all the broken hearts, we'll one day find,,
through all our questions, true love is blind,
though a million things could knock us off our feet,
always remain discreet, for sweet love's deceit.
