You keep your distance from me
Say that you think I'm crazy
Say that my views don't make sense to you
And I plead with you to tell me the truth

The truth is you keep your distance from me
Because it's hard to pretend around me
Because I make you face yourself
Because with me you are the real you
The carnal you
You keep your distance from me
Because you see your spiritual self
Your sensual self
Your freaky self
The strange side of yourself

You keep your distance from me
Not because I'm not pretty
Or thick in the wrong places
Or because I'm not intelligent
Or educated
Or because I'm lacking in my pocketbook

You keep your distance from me
Because around me your heart races
Your breath quickens
Your sense of smell returns
You can't help but touch my flesh

You keep your distance from me
Because I make you want to kiss my lips
Taste my tongue
Moan my name
Forget your name
Forget your wife

I keep you...

to keep you i must be able...

able to meet your needs and gratify your desires
able to feed you and satiate your appetites
able to keep you intrigued
able to make you feel like the king you are

I keep you...

to keep you i must understand...

i understand your nature, your drive, your needs
i understand your hurts, your failures, your success
i understand your pursuit of freedom and security
i understand your command to be the man & in control

I keep you...

to keep you i must be willing

willing to sow a seed of love with you
willing to become a better me for you
willing to show you my consistencies
willing to show you my faithfulness to you

I keep you...

to keep you i must be open

i open my heart & my emotions for you
i open my sensuality like a lotus flower just for you
i open my curiosity to your fantasies
i open my life and welcome you inside of me

Come as you are

Lay with me

Beautiful lies once more tell me

With all the love in my heart

I'll set you free

Now that your eyes have said good-bye...

***~~***~~***

I found joy so pure

My heart secure

With the love the two of us would share

And though it all seems so unfair

No one's to blame when love's not there

My whole life has changed

Feels like I'll surely go insane

'Cause my world revolved 'rounda love that never was

Before I say good-bye to love

Just hold me until the morning comes

Tell me this is just another fantasy. Is this just another hunger to be fed? Tell me this is enough to satiate your desires. Perhaps this is simply another notch in your belt?

I've known you way too long. Before she even came around. And the loving is way too good, I don't want to share it. Is she prettier than me? Are her ass and hips bigger than mine? I've got to know....

Of course, I'm a freak. You know I give it to you freely. Anyway you want. Just text me. One word - "Now". Any time. Just give me eye contact. I'll meet you anywhere you like. You want a nooner? Take it from me while I'm sleeping? You know I oblige.

Now you want this situation, now we're in this situation. I've agreed and can't get out but I feel like backing out. I just want you to be happy, have your needs met. Said I've give it to you as a present but right now I'm feeling jealous. You might like it and want more. Maybe next time you'll leave me out... of this threesome.

It all started with a kiss. I should have known better. Kissing is something that I love to do and when you love to do something, you tend to give it your all. I give my all.
It's been years since we've talked. Years since we beheld each other's presence. Years since we were close enough to inhale each other. Years since we held conversations that blocked out the world.
So good to see you. Our conversation flowed so easily. Wasn't long before our talk flowed into a familiar cadence followed by laughter and lingering smiles.
I could lie and say that it wasn't on my mind but just by staring at the movement of your lips, I was enticed, and tempted and all I wanted, all I felt I needed, was a kiss from you. I asked.
I saw your hesitation. You closed your eyes. And I felt your struggle. You opened your eyes
And I saw that you surrendered. You tilted your head down, grabbed my lower back and pressed your lips against mine.
I don't know when I felt like that before. Dizzy. Drunk. Anxious. My heart was beating fast. My breath was short. I trembled beneath your fingers.
I slid my hands underneath the sleeves of your shirt to feel your arms, run my fingers over your muscles, glide my index finger over your tattoo, brought you closer to me.
Your hands moved up and down my spine, rested a little on the curve of my back, sliding down to palm me, you always knew that I liked it when you palmed me.
It's funny how days, months and moments pass. Time lapsed. Yet we never missed a beat during our tongue brawl. It was electric. So much so that I didn't want to let go, you wouldn't let go.
But we had to stop. You had to go home and I had to go home too. And I had to deal with the wrong I had done by tempting you and giving in to my lust.
I learned a lesson in that moment. That I'm not as strong and I pretend to be. My emotions failed me and a tear broke free and revealed to you my vulernability.

my heart was still... i was confused... you pursued me...
my breath was caught in my chest... hurting my body... you pursued me...
what were your intentions... weren't you connected to another... you pursued me...
i fought your attempts... avoided you... yet... you pursued me...
i brushed you away... outwardly... at least i thought i did... you pursued me...
the attraction between us... strong... but i was so puzzled... you pursued me...
with your hands holding mine.... with your eyes staring into mine... you pursued me...
you scared me...
you kissed me...
you held me...
you pursued me...
until i surrendered

What did you do the day after the night we met?
Was I under you skin like blood under your veins?
Did I dart across your mind constantly?
Like the relentless way you moved across mine
I wonder....

What did you do the day after the night of our first kiss?
Did you listen to your favorite song, favorite CD, did you sing along?
Did you take a hot shower in an attempt to erase my scent off of your skin?
Only to realize that that traces of me are embedded within
Like you're embedded in me
I wonder...

What did you do the day after the night of our first fight?
Did you stand strong to your argument?
I'm sure you thought I was wrong and you were right
Did you shed a tear of frustration at my ignorance?
Did you realize your faults?
Did you try to call me to say that you're sorry only to find my number busy because I was calling you?
I wonder...

What do you do the day after the night we first made love?
Did you miss me in your bed?
Did you clutch your pillow tight?
Did you find sleep easily or did you reach for a soothing balm?
Did you anticipate our next encounter?
Because I did...
I wonder...
