Wild, Wild West

Gonna kiss that honey from the nape of your neck
Gonna drink that sweet from the heat of your breath
Baby pounds like bass in the left of my chest
Got me spinning like a bullet in the wild, wild west

Gather every glance and tuck it away
Weave my cortex with ribbon and lace
Gonna soak you up like a sponge in lemonade
Flood my heart with your sugary taste

Graze you like gold to the tips of your toes
Burn like Mercury until I explode
Tiny as a pearl and pure as the snow
Today I'm a hummingbird
Before you, a crow

This Is Unrequited

It doesn't matter

What you want to be

If you want to be the depth

Or the sun in the East

The passion in the fruit

That quenches her ruby tongue

None of that matters

In the shadows is where you belong

There’s a kiss out there for every lip

An embrace for every hand

A drop of water for the prickliest thorn

But succumb that you’re a grain of sand

There’s no more songs from up above

Even angels need their rest

When you have eternity to spare

You don’t rush to clean a mess

You can reach out for the beautiful

It only drifts further away

That’s where it’s always been

And fool, that’s where it will always stay

There’s nothing in the distance

Hope is a tease with virgin clench

She dangles the dream in front of you

But never pulls the thread
