Lemongrass

You think that your hopes are all in
But if you could gaze past the looking-glass
You'd see that new wish could begin
Fresh as lavender fields and lemongrass

You've been drowning in confusion
You've gone so far off track
Sadness is just an illusion
That'll turn your eyes to black

The snow that shimmers in moonlight
Reflects with gilded glimmer for your day
What's been chasing you is leaf blight
But the Winterly shall phase out from stay

You've been drowning in confusion
You've gone so far off track
Sadness is just an illusion
That'll turn your eyes to black

Let me be the night, that takes your darkness and rush
You be the sun bright, that wakes acquiesce and hush
Beyond what's in front of you, looking-glass
As lavender fields and lemongrass
As lavender fields and lemongrass

Gemini Night

Love the night, hate the night
Bite my lip, sting and feeling so right
Pierce, warm and elusive
It's temperamental blade
Baby, it cuts both ways

Extreme good, extreme bad
Wind me up, keep me high, black-steel-clad
Time's a double-edged sword
Blood and tears, hot and cold
Baby, let slow graze stroll

Evocative, little secrets scoff
Their potion-like pressures set you off
Forget guilt, get lost and seize that hilt
Dual, inhibitions flow
Make a minx, take a doe

Tomorrow you can forgive yourself
Pleasure and pain surrenders from stealth
Alter-ego, spirited Gemini
How both sides, each deny
How both sides, each deny

Charmed Alchemy

I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I'm so in love with you

What if my feelings slip?
My soul, then bare with strip
And butterflies set free
What if you were in love with me?

I don't know which is worse
Confess or cage near burst

I can no longer hide
Can you handle what's true?
I'm so in love with you

When flaring notions slip
My soul, then bare with strip
And butterflies set free
Please say that you're in love with me

Fluttering fray,... tension, delight

Turned on, charmed Alchemy
Restless, imagining
That you could be in love with me

Fluttering fray,... tension, delight

Contrary

I swore I would not go back
To what once was
Love lost
Accepting a tepid rose
Only to watch it wither on the vine
There's line
I've drawn for self promises

80 to 10 m.p.h
Oh, think again
Our long conversations have ...
Come to an end
Stamina, you're not engaged
I'm contrary
And you've got nothing but lax to defend

Frustrated by defiance
Met your cool match
Love lost
Your would-be conquer has flaws
That imperfection proves to serve me well
Do tell
Challenge to your idle heart

80 to 10 m.p.h
Oh, think again
Our long conversations have ...
Come to an end
Stamina, you're not engaged
I'm contrary
And you've got nothing but lax to defend

There's settling but I won't tolerate
Boredom and vacancy, where you could try
(Goodbye ... Now, love lost ... Goodbye)

Darkflower

His vintage beauty in pale, pink stockings
Tosses dulcet laughter, catching his heart
Her smile leads his dizzy thoughts rocking
While night colors love ... like a work of art

Darkflower
- And a pale, pink rose
Stroking 'cross her lips
Dew, petals and hips
Darkflower
Moon dripping with light
Down her body,... back arched, exquisite curve
Silver tongue kisses, tingling every nerve
Juicy confection like Autumn candy
Haunting affection, canvassed for the Spring
Moments such as these ... are the sweetest thing

His muse, and wild hearts can't be broken
Dazzles with fragile, yet an untamed bloom
He can capture what she leaves unspoken
But there's part of her,... no one can consume

Darkflower
- And a pale, pink rose
Stroking 'cross her lips
Dew, petals and hips
Darkflower
Moon dripping with light
Down her body,... back arched, exquisite curve
Silver tongue kisses, tingling every nerve
Juicy confection like Autumn candy
Haunting affection, canvassed for the Spring
Moments such as these ... are the sweetest thing

Watercolors

Watercolors, emotions
Blur and blend through each other
With their, dizzy, tinted thoughts
Chaotic, racing sundries
The woman is strong but longs for protection
Where her guard can come down and she can just be
And misty confusion can be ... washed away

Don't we all get tired, shattered by too much thinking?
Don't we all feel powerless and need time to escape?
Unconditional touch can heal with comforting drape
Those unflinching arms, holding on
'Til the hurt is gone

That Alpha male,... he'll say
I'll be your everything
For you,... anything
Let your tears and world fall ... to my shoulders
I will be the bolder one ... for awhile
Until you can summon a smile ... again
Let me take and love your burdens, unto sleep

Wonderlust

Love, I want to learn every inch of you
I want you to learn every inch of me
Hours and hours deflowers to our open world
Explore, lose boundaries, touch electricity

Nothing forbidden,... bask, taste with innocent lips
Where risque words unveil sugar, like a lover
Again and again, memorizing each other

Lingering, fingering, sketching constellations
Sensitivity can ache, twinge and trust combine
Stargazers let curious waves interpret design

Wonderlust, safe in love
Wonderlust, safe in love
And it's okay,... for us,... to feel everything
