Trying hard to strip away
The myth
From the man
I’m just a child inside
Searching for my bride
The queen to share my throne
My words
Rigid at times
Pointed
Brutally sincere
Spawned from deep within
Despite social consequence
Never pulling punches
Focus on the real
Piece of cake
For me to write a song
Increasingly complex
To right a wrong
I craved our union for forever
Never pictured defeat
So far I can’t accept it
Another quirk of my psyche
My eyes have grown hard
My lonely heart
Still mush
Quite difficult to fathom
You and I as two
Despite our history
Of such pain inflicted
Perhaps that is our glue
That bonds our spirits essence
I’ve braced myself with fortified defiance
Only to fall victim to your charm
I’ve tasted fame forbidden
Fabled chameleon
Mind fuck fairytale
Romantic to the soul
Poison in the long run
Noble dreams of bliss
Incredible kiss
Once so natural
Easy to transcend
Eager for your arrival
Nectar
Sweetest honey
I long to taste your best
If only once my dear
Storied fifty years
Irreversible hunger
A craving worse than booze
I thought I was ready
Groomed to be a loner
You jarred me from my trance
Silken caress
Star shine smile
Dancing bedroom eyes
Sacred steady heartbeat
Sharing rhythm with my life’s blood
Forever
I have wanted you so fiercely
No other
Has ever come close
Invading my deepest magic pool
Twisting on my aching heart strings
What now sweet Mel?
Where do I go from here?
I don’t know what to do
Having trouble living without you
After our fleeting nirvana
It’s always been you girl
Now I’m lost
Unsure
Afraid
Despondent
I need you intricately
As a junkie needs a vein
Is it too late to shed our game face?
Sincerely follow our hearts
Forsake social stigma
Such falsetto expectations
Its brutal pain I harbor
So weary from the battle
Helplessly hoping
To be your loving man
Flow with you
Just love you
Respectful coexistence
Is it still there for us after all?
Despite our frustrations
I’ve never been your foe
Always adored you
We come way too far
For cordial lip service
Do you still need me girl?
Love me as deeply?
Forsake all others for me?
Our past dictates
We always cling together
In the fiercest mortal storms
Voices in my brain
Loudly chuckling
Suggesting I’m insane
Possibly
I agree I am not well
Staring blankly
At the shadows on my wall
Perhaps you no longer care
Ego can be a bitch
Mine is quite immense
Never been the type to straddle the fence
My mind slowly escapes
Unconscious response
To sorrows brutal thrust
I yearn for you tonight
Warped sweet dreams still haunt me
You slipped in bed beside
In a whirlwind last night
Warm
Soft
Safe
So stunning
So beautiful
The sum of my desire
The end of my rainbow
Alas
Just a cruel dream
I was writing in my sleep
Sure….
I am certainly unhinged without you
Please grab my hand
Tear down the walls with me
Face down the demons
Before our moment leaves us behind…..
