The us in lust

It was twelve a.m. when I found my love

and I knew she was the one that I'd been dreaming of

A voice like a dove within a beautiful sight

Alas, only in my dreams as I was kissed by midnight...



A dream...always only in my dreams

Reality is real as my lonely heart screams

Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same

Broken hearts from broken dreams in a town without a name

and I knew this from the beginning, I knew this from the start

yet to this day I'd give away my fragile, delicate heart

A day, a month, a year...I would give my love so true

knowing in the end I will be fifty shades of blue

True love lies in the eyes of romance

but false love lies within a worldly trance

Still I dance to the chance, entertaining the thought

Pulling petals from the flowers; she loves me...loves me not

Is it worth it...worth the emotional toll

Sharing heart, sharing mind, sharing body and soul

Beyond sexual a sensual mind is oh, so rare

What good is laying together naked if your soul you cannot bare

Knowing each others thoughts, what we long for...dream of

When each glance, every whisper...even our scent screams of love

and it is love I seek, yet it is lust I always find

and sometimes late at night when I rewind my mind

I'm reminded time and again how many lovers I've had

but if I counted those who truly loved me, that lowly number seems so sad

because the fire is desirous, the flames beckon as they call

and when I'd rise to the occasion I would watch myself fall

I don't want another lover to feed my worldly desire

I want more than real...ethereal...rising ever higher

Walking hand-in-hand though we're miles apart

Love-letters written from the tears of the heart

The tears of joy brought on by love becoming the ink

but this chain of love is only as strong as its weakest link

That link is the world, with all its tempting treasures

Naughty by nature with its sinful little pleasures

and as I see what I've done, and I see what I've become

I want to march to the beat of a different drum

I need to trust someone will love me not in part, but in whole

because purely physical love is destroying my soul

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I want the us in trust, but not the us in lust



Two becoming one as primal lovers unite

is sometimes best left to the dreams of the night...
