Eye Admire

Why people kiss… keeps them from saying something stupid, gets them moving because you admire something and not move any closer; not counting a bulge in my pants. “Eye Admire” is keeping me from the conclusion of never wanting to see her again *sigh*

And I should try not to kiss you…
Or dream a little dream of me and you; just a few
songs like love me like you do
blasting on my car stereo
Maybe when we’re all alone
you’re be in my arms tomorrow; sun outside my window
Guess I’m not the best with secret keeping,
while I am barely breathing
and how my heart is beating
Open your eyes… it’s required
Look at her; my heart’s not a liar
How else can I be your secret admirer?

Lovely Steps of Gravity

Love is blind… maybe but maybe not; I see her and I’m drawn to her but when she is nowhere around my thoughts constantly seek her out. Lovely Steps of Gravity… so why am I looking at the ground instead of looking in her eyes?

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

Enjoying the view
Each and every step, carefully, carefully
The distance between you and me

Clarity
Only the ground is so hard to see
Love me like you do

isn’t that the dream?
My heart, my tears, all of me, falling for you
Or how I learned gravity

A Bit Soon for Paradise

Because I’ve never been loved by a girl… hell I’ve never been kissed by a girl and my crush is not just another girl; she has to be an angel. “A Bit Soon for Paradise”… because how else do I see an angel… coming down or am I “up” again

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbJ5Hks0HmA

So you must be an angel
“How can you tell?”
You mean being hot as hell

And Mama told me not to come
But run boy run
into the arms of a beautiful stranger

My, my, my did I ignore the danger
of waiting for a girl like you, someday;
a beautiful day

or an atom bomb baby
You’re gonna be the one who saves me?
Heroine if only you were able

to what God should I be grateful?
Only let me love you
as you love me like you do

The two of us, a little less graceful
So I died in your arms tonight, surprise
Is this love or not quite paradise

Piece in the Universe

The universe is made of such much but we are not gods; I would like to think we are more for making love and that takes two… with a few “accessories”. “Piece in the Universe”, but I want to be more and I’ll need more or should I pull myself together

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E9tuugnJy4

Three little words but only “you”…

And no other
As I pick a flower or two
Just you’re more elusive than a four leaf clover
But it’s not over
They’ll be more, tomorrow too
One more day and another
The birds and bees have reasons

Yet this wallflower cannot flatter
Does it even matter?
My confession

When you’re right here…and so great is my fear
that I no longer care for the man in the mirror
Skipped heart beats, but I’m breathing once again
Like humpty dumpty can I pretend?
Beautiful girl you draw nearer
Fall… you’re close than you appear
While I think of you “indecent”

Things I wish were true
That you will love me love me like you do
Make me your selection

Let me be your one and only
for a moment in your eyes
My heart you’ve already stolen
maybe broken
If only I was brave enough to try
To make the universe less lonely
Two pieces

Making three little words
Am I sure
You and me, quite a reflection

Of love…

Heartbeat Clarity

What do you do if what you see in the mirror isn’t what you want to see… I do what I can but I can’t afford plastic surgery. Sometimes I don’t even bother to look anymore, that’s the beauty of dreams or wondering what “she” sees. “Heartbeat Clarity”…

And who runs away from paradise
Starting at the world through my rearview
thinking, you’ll love me like you do
Now wouldn’t it be nice

the clarity of such love magnified
But it’s right before your eyes
Closed eyes, big eyes, I wonder why
From I can’t get no… to satisfied

Only you draw nearer
in each and every reflection
without my glasses detection
Figures

I would dream a bit bigger
of being your selection,
some good love and affection
My dear, mirror, mirror

Jazz Friend

And all that jazz… men, can be stupid or is it just me; wanting her, my love is from another time and that time has not happened yet. Jazz Friend, like love what do I know about it or her, an old man who wants a new world or girl…31 vs. 18 uh no

Why not make beautiful music together
in some old-timey fashion
Suppose you would have to be blind

to want a heart like mine
but the tune has been
playing, if anything for the pleasure
the hope, for the love of you
As though you would love me like you do

Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
my heart, a brand new passion
a song unheard of wherever

there is red, red wine and not enough aspirin
And thirteen years of never going to happen

A Whole New Hard

Love is in a constant state of evolution, the guy left breathless, and the he stutters, then he won’t stop talking; the body too but much like the word love there is a part of anatomy that remains constant when we like someone. A Whole New Hard

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r0bUfuwnGo

It gets harder still
And Atlas asks… is it carrying the world?

I just want to talk to you pretty girl
Without the pillar of Heaven

But you know that you are… hot as Hell; then again
how you make me melt

Yet to love me like you do, would make me someone else
For the clear path, my straight and narrow gaffe

Is the way to something I cannot have?
It gets harder still

The Peeks of Love

Do you trust me… I’m honestly still waiting to see it for myself but it starts with a kiss and why are we not privy to that; because it would just look weird. “The Peeks of Love”, maybe I’ve seen everything but the real thing, I don’t know.

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vrXH47EGds

Does God never shut his eyes… true?
And the Devil knows me too
But with a good night kiss or two
With three little words or a few
You show me something I never knew
“Now let me love you”
“Love me like you do”

Dreaming the Red Room Cares

I took a step today to fill my red room lair… she’s been in my dreams, my fantasies, even finding pieces of my heart on occasion. Dreaming the Red Room Cares, much like my crush… doubtful but my head, my pages, and everywhere else is full of her

See Me Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOZMWrTRkB8

And don’t be scared
“I’m not”
Is it excitement or worry?
You’re so damn hot
My, such a beautiful fury
Tell me, if you dare

All of me, all of you bared
“Just breathe”
How can I ignore a goddess?
Yes we aim to please
I’d say if you didn’t leave me breathless
As I stop and stare

It just doesn’t seem fair
“Let me love you”
Isn’t that my line?
If I were to let you love me like you do
Only I can’t seem to make you mine
But that sounds just like a prayer

Not just to be there
“Stay with me”
Did I say it before? You’re hot as Hell
Like an atom bomb baby
So if we explode, Heaven, Hell, anywhere
I hope you know I care

Finding that there is still air
“Morning” “Hi”
Are you mine, my girl, my love
Everyone says hi, but as long as you don’t say goodbye
Haven’t I dreamed, quite enough?
Of a love like ours, and empty red room lair

Some Things Can’t Be Erased

“I don’t always like… the things that I like,”
― Erased: A Dark Romantic Thriller

So I liked this but I can’t help but wonder about the people that like this, especially the women. I wouldn’t change a word but how blurry that line must have been for the author. Some stories play jump rope with it, some do their best to fade it and for others the line isn’t there at all, my favorite.

I guess that makes the Halloran Asylum the perfect place for this story, and the whole dime a dozen aspect, or maybe I’m reading far too into this; in my experience most women wouldn’t cater to this, not out loud anyway. Maybe that’s what this book makes me think about the movie “Sucker Punch”, I don’t want to give too much away but yeah the bad guys, I mean the really bad guys don’t get to have their way with the heroine. See even now I believe I should have to talk to a shrink about these desires but why, feelings like this are natural or the characters seem to think so all the way.

“Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But chains and whips
Excite me” S&M, Rihanna

“Erased” doesn’t exactly cross the line, it seems to show the line of erotica and “reality” or at least in a way I’m reminded like in any movie this is all fiction and should not be duplicated… which parts though hmm? That’s where it gets blurry, on one hand I compared this to a movie on the other this could just as easily be ripped from any headline; news flash, our heroine is also a reporter. Now on a personal level I would have liked to see more from the villains and from Marla’s interactions, another reason I’m reading the bonus epilogue for this and the prequel, decent freebies really.

Seriously though why is this sort of stuff looked at as crazy, dirty for sure, hot as Hell definitely, makes you feel wrong somehow but talk about our influences. As though I can influence you to read this book and I’m talking to the ladies here, because being a straight guy with massive experience across the internet I doubt most guys would but should I give it a shot?

“You’re a natural submissive, and I want to work with that.”
Erased: A Dark Romantic Thriller

It’s a weird case with most women, how can Marla be so badass on one hand and then in the next so submissive, this is sort of the essence of BDSM. Now guys I could recommend “Kojin Taxi”, “Shusaku” pretty much anything in the Harem genre though you shouldn’t expect a lot of sex scenes from random beauties, I really hope you like Marla though.

Except that name… sorry just personally preference, but I’ve come up with some strange names but stop me if you’ve heard this, girl gets kidnapped, girl and bad boy hook up, everybody gets what’s coming to them in the end. I’m not spoiling anything if you read this genre that’s the common story thread and then I have to ask why don’t men and women watch this sort of stuff together. Truthfully it’s more a BDSM story than a prisoner story which just makes the setting all the more perfect because it’s treated as though it’s crazy for Marla, Gabriel, and Halloran to feel the way they do.

Which leads me back to the guys, you know what separates a guy like Halloran from, such and such guy in Nevada… consent, you don’t have to imagine this just go Nevada and you can find the same thing, guys losing money to spend time with beautiful women. I like this story, I really do but maybe for women it’s a fantasy and for guys that talk about or even consider it, quite possibly it’s just primal nature. There are a few things that will make you feel bad, maybe because you’ll like it or a touch a feminism but again, these stories are marked toward women.

Myself… I only got into the genre because of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and before that I studied the Marquis de Sade but to have someone actually say like in “Erased” that some of these things can actually be okay… For the fellas if missionary and maybe an occasional happy ending is all you’ve been taught then, this book will actually be a great read.

“Someday you and I are going to have to work out a safeword,” he says. “Because in our world, sometimes people say ‘stop’ and don’t mean it.”
― Sansa Rayne, Erased: A Dark Romantic Thriller

Being a guy of course I know plenty of girls and we sometimes talk about my latest read that might turn into their latest read but I’m actually more into putting let’s say words into action. With these words, I think I’ll give them a four out of five… yes I’m that hard to please or am I a snob?

For example, I know one woman who would be all for this except for being on the receiving end, she likes the whips and the bondage as long as she’s doing the whipping, so I think this book wouldn’t be anything new to her. Another one will talk about being spanked, choked, and even tied up but gets nervous if a guy gets close, she would read this with gusto though because it’s a different world sexually for her truthfully. How I got into this myself… that’s a story I’ll have to write someday but as for this book in general, I actually know an erotica reading group, so recommended.

“We live in a weird and random universe, people.”
― Erased: A Dark Romantic Thriller

So what didn’t I like… I asked this somewhere before but you can never have too much sex and I suppose the author didn’t want to overwhelm the reader but wait to you see my story. I honestly wish and maybe I’m a bad guy but if the other bad guys had taken their turns with Marla that would have been pretty interesting. Also that Iris tidbit was a bit of a snooze, yes I get it, Gabriel is good and everyone else is bad, didn’t necessarily have to drive another nail through her coffin.

All in all, four stars, easily earned, not as many quotable thoughts but there is always something and I am somewhat enticed to read a bit more from Sansa Rayne, did I mention the free epilogue and prequel? What did I learn from this, that again I’m not sick, that adult anime can take novel form, and straitjackets sort of creep me out but then again worked for Sucker Punch.
