Somewhere In Life Is Love

Love's True Sin

I see your smile when I close my eyes
Keeping me awake like the new day sun
Your eyes speak to me like a Sunday sermon
Making my heart long for repentance
not telling you is a sin
For so long I’ve hidden my true feelings under cloaks
Shielding my face from my own desires
Oh what it would be to take off my mask
And show my true color
Oh what it would be to take your hand
And guide you through the experience
Of love
To detox myself of the romantic fallacies of lust
Grasp you by your waist
And hold you tight until we fuse
Wedding rings are often seen as shackles
But lust is worse of a slave driver
Keep you working all day
Strenuous trying to decipher reality from fantasy
I often dream of shackles setting me free
An oxymoron for the ages
Her sweet insecurities show on her face
And transfer to mine as I fear I will become dangerous propaganda
BET, the right wing, or the Bush administration
Meaning, I am afraid I will corrupt her
She is perfect as she is
Never having to experience the ugliness of love
Knowing how to smile when down
And finding comfort in the sound
Of stimulating conversation
Never afraid to learn
Always ready to understand
When others just want to
Assume
I presume I am not worthy
I believe that angels and demons don’t mix
Not saying I’m hell born
But my scorn has turned my soul
Midnight blue
What a dolorous hue
What I am trying to say is
I pray one day she will look into my eyes
And I will not look away
And the windows of my soul will tell all
Until then
Her smile keeps me awake
And her eyes make me guilty


To understand my words, you must first understand my mind. Balik737
