Tell Me

Romance has nothing to do with this;
Love has nothing to do with bliss;
Time has no meaning when we kiss;
Tell me, does something seem amiss?

Lessons can be learned from what we do;
Guilt can tear this relationship in two;
Remorse can ruin our point of view;
Tell me, what caused this hullabaloo?

Believing that you know what I need;
Knowing that we are both agreed;
Feeling our time together is guaranteed;
Tell me, why do we enjoy such greed?

Seduction may be guiding each embrace;
Fantasy might be leading us on this chase;
Thinking selfishly I ask, just in case:
Tell me, can you continue at this pace?

Black Power

Black as night
black you are
guide my way
beneath the star

Lead me down
protect me there
into the void
without despair

Show me how
to find the lost
to seek the Path
to pay the cost

Teach me now
to sing the Song
to dance the Dance
to right the wrong

Black is pure
black is clean
black as night
within my Dream

Your silent step
your secret gaze
reveals the trust
your Spirit obeys

Faces

Content
A cheerful style
A pleasant smile
Unending possibilities

Ecstatic
A perfect vision
A dreamy optimism
Eternally enchanting

Reserved
A subtle glance
A hidden chance
Derelict opportunities

Melancholy
A spirit drifting
A memory shifting
Hopelessly wandering

Vacant
A blank look
A closed book
Emotionally extinct

Peaceful
A final ending
A spiritual sending
Irrevocable oblivion

Greater

Today is the day I will be greater
And the road I walk down will be straighter
You are now free to go ahead and date her
For no more will I be a procrastinator
No more living with a manipulator
No more trying to be a mediator
I'm long past wanting to strangulate her
So I will play the greater emancipator
With one last attempt at instigator:
Are you sure she prefers you to her vibrator?
