I WOULD PUT YOU ON A PEDESTAL

 

I would put you on a pedestal

and prostrate myself before you

I would worship you like a god

I would proffer my heart

On an ornate silver platter.

For your avaricious consumption

I would give you all my love

Unconditionally, unrequited

And thank you for your indifference

I would cherish you in my life,

Even if you broke my heart in pieces.

I would look upon you lovingly

And gratefully receive your look of disdain

All this I would happily endure

Just to feel, for the briefest moment

The warmth of your embrace

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE

He carried her books home from school

All for the sake of love

They kissed on the back row of the pictures

All for the sake of love

They walked down the aisle in June

All for the sake of love

they happily lived in a one bedroom flat

All for the sake of love

They worked hard and scrimped and saved

All for the sake of love

They became a family in a bigger home

All for the sake of love

She divorced him after five years of marriage

All for the sake of lust 

ARE YOU WEARING A BLACK BODY STOCKING?

 

Are you wearing a black body stocking?

No I can assure you my tone is not mocking

And though the view may be thought shocking

It will certainly bring admirers flocking

THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 14

 

There is knowledge I need to know

I used to know but I since forgot

If a synchronized swimmer drowns

Do the rest of the team drown or not?

WHEN THE SUMMER EVENING FALLS

 

When the summer evening falls

The melodic nightingale calls

This is also the lover’s time

And the perpetrators of crime

Then at the passing of the night

Lovers take cover criminals take flight

SILVER MOON ABOVE MOUNTAIN BLUE

 

Silver moon above mountain blue

Is there another looking at you?

Shooting star flashing across the sky

Is there another asking you why?

It is my love wishing on that star

I will find you wherever you are

I WANTED HER TO STAY IN MY ARMS

 

I wanted her

To stay in my arms

To be my girl for ever

But her feelings for me

Evaporated like mist

In the heat of the sun

Leaving only shadowy memories

Of passions passed

And i am alone

Unable to cry the tears

I just keep asking why

But in the hollow void

Of my empty heart

Only silence echo’s
