How Cotton Was Forgotten

People are just too much to deal with for me sometimes but a person, one beautiful woman, I’d want to show her the world; on the other hand why would I want to leave my bed? If I found love, I’d be worried about losing her “How Cotton Was Forgotten”

What about a smaller snooze button
Only I reach for nothing

You’ve gotten nothing to wear
And I really don’t care
to look in the bedroom closet; maybe I’m rotten
but I found your panties
A dystopian fantasy

where the spaces between you AND me
well they cease to be
Causes…
Three little words or a few
Love me like you do
In lace, silk, and cotton
My atom bomb baby

Because here and now
Won’t you stay with me, like I’m the only man in town?
Or has my heart too been forgotten

Lessons in Falling

It’s not like you can just go up to the door and knock… I’ve never talked to a girl’s father so could you imagine knocking on heaven’s door as the song goes. Also angels have wings so no wonder one won’t fall for me but if she did Lessons in Falling.

As my legs turn to jelly
and my words fail me
Butterflies in my belly
Because no one walks into Heaven

But I’m still falling now

While you’re walking on air
I could take you there
Just like a prayer
Where is this question

cause I don’t know how

“Let me love you
love me like you do”
Only I don’t know how to fly, true
Something other than falling lessons

Happily… Ever… Whatever

So what’s stopping me… a few “fetishes”, a need for the intimacy, all of womankind, who knows really; okay so I could be a better person I suppose. “Happily… Ever… Whatever” that would be too much especially for a “first” just the opportunity…

Oh God was it ever

The lace and the feathers
Not much for leather… are you?
And a thank you letter

Because it must be quite the effort
To love me like you do
Bu why can’t I remember

My love, return to sender
You and me… a dream or two, a few
Happily… ever… whatever

Something better than “I love you”… wish I could let her
Or the answer wasn’t never

Cupid Mobile

Better to say nothing, but I have a heart, I have “something else”, and I have fingers, and all those things seem to outrun my brain, so why not blame Cupid and Siri. Cupid Mobile… think I need a better mobile plan.

One day I’ll have to guess

The honey and the moon
Two of the lucky ones… who would you suggest
To love me like you do

Oops, what did I just say to you?
Autocorrect
Too soon, too soon
“My love…”
“What?”

Sweet Something Speak

She looks at me, I look at her and pow, or maybe boom; hearts say so many things and we’re listening or I’m listening, can’t speak for her. “Sweet Something Speak”… sweet nothings but lovers have their ways but me, I can’t tell her this way, that way

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SznRrbX59lQ

And what god was encouraged
That the stars became wishes
for winds to give breath?
Only there was nothing left
to say but this…
Nothing

Why is everyone nervous
speechless, without words
Now see what you’ve done
“Two of the lucky ones”
Him and her
Thinking “love me, love me”

How’s that for a purpose
To love, to be loved, to be loved
“I love you”
“Love me like you do”
We don’t say these things because
It’s a little bit funny

But where is my courage,
in bed sheet receipts?
Dreams instead of plans
“I want to be your man”
said in so many heartbeats
Or so I was wondering

I’d say something
like, I want to know what love is

For the Love of Netflix

Truth be told I like reading a whole lot more, I’ve never had a girl over to my place, and yes I’m a bit late for the “Netflix and Chill” phenomenon but introducing a girl to your playroom only works if you’re Christian Grey. For the Love of Netflix

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCVJ2nLdGaQ

And why didn’t you wear a cape?
Because I want to be the villain
Tie you up in lace and ribbon
RAVISHMENT you wouldn’t escape
But they’ll be no white flag
Not even a finger wag
As I’m a naughty someone

Leaving your dress in a mess
Your panties hanging but lose the rest
What do the heroines wear these days?
Did you want the nice guy, the civilian?
My love, you are one in a million
The girl on fire, dauntless, a fictional heroine on display
Only I won’t run

If we should ever meet
Want you, love you, HAVE you
“Love me like you do”
From your voice ever so sweet
Are there words more Machiavellian
Than Netflix and Chillin’
*sigh* but you love, I didn’t think you’d come

The Calamity of a Miracle

We can be heroes… or villains when it comes to love; I know the things love can do to you, and sometimes it’s just no good. Love can also be a miracle, our own way of saving the world but why does the world need saving, The Calamity of a Miracle

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UO29JtEPlM

And I wondered where the heroes were
Maybe love was beyond them
You whisper, love me again
You’re not just another girl

But my atom bomb baby
That one moment of truth
A hot as hell hurricane, and world war too
My love, you’re a calamity
Just… you rock my world
Almost like something biblical
Only you are an original

So let the people look and wonder
What a God they must live under

Asking “who is she”
Or why you would love me like you do
Three little words “I love you”
You’re gonna be the one that saves me?
Perhaps just a beautiful sin
Love is but a one word syllable
For an everyday miracle

Wallflower Eden

Holding up the wall, examining a potted plant, oh and isn’t that an interesting painting… what are excuses for not being on the dancefloor with a pretty girl. I’m supposed to be all grown up; then again I didn’t go to my prom either, Wallflower Eden.

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFcj1lzq_5A

But when I grow up
She is my sun, my moon, my starlit sky
Only I will never fly

With Mario’s ambitions
Every bit of fire and passion
Just no Princess Peach attraction

For another girl I would fall
Figured I’d help Atlas out is all
Take a peek through the wonderwall

And know that Eve was made for Adam
Not for Eden
One day I’m leaving

On a jet plane, one step is not enough
To love me like you do, but my fault Miss
I didn’t have the balls
My love and him… I look at them

The Wallflower

Cupid’s Home Improvement

If a man wants an angel he must create a Heaven for her to live in… but who needs angels in Heaven? Now I don’t need saving but if my angel is on the way anyway I can at least try to make her comfortable… afterwards Cupid’s Home Improvement

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMIFljsaWvw

There’s a sale on bedsheets
A chill off the night air
or maybe I’m building a tent there
I could fly like a superhero
but I know
perhaps I should make peace
That they won’t be wrapped around you
After you… love me like you do
Only the conclusion…

Is another cold shower
Trip to Lowe’s, Home Depot…
where Christian Grey shops… I don’t know
Hell, are you really that hot
Think about you a lot
Louder and louder
The neighbors in their confusion

Knocking down my door
Doorbell warps
What are the balls and chains for?
Might think I’m insane
If I said I was building “The Red Room of Pain”
For who… don’t know anymore
Love is blind but where is Cupid

When we got this king size to ourselves
A financial mistake
Just hope it doesn’t break
While we Marvin Gaye and get it on
Because who has time to yawn
with Kama Sutra show and tell
Might need some sexual healing
Really
After all the Home Improvement

Noticed the Bedroom

Write what you know but if I finally did know I’d probably be so busy “doing IT” that I wouldn’t really want to write it down and if I did it would only be for her maybe. “Noticed the Bedroom”… well I notice her but will she ever notice me?

And so why does the poet
put down paper and pen…
It’s her, only her, again
Yet I would dance and sing

Takes a song to be a singer
Was God ever so eager?
That he let his eyes linger
Only she is not my creation

I am only a man, bone and Earth… but to be a sculptor
Then again is there enough left of this heart
Wouldn’t know where to start
The things I would do to her

Would be but the dreams of a painter
Show me… love me like you do
Her dress made a mess but to tell you the truth
An artist cannot rush

For how HARD must it be to love Galatea?
Very hard, and later
while coming down to Earth
maybe even lower
Patience
Lips to a kiss but what to do with these fingers
What about this thing?
My love, my heart, you noticed
