Hot and Cold

You're as hot as lava, and as cool as ice.

You sit on my lap; it feels so nice.

I kiss you once; I kiss you twice

I place my hands between your thighs.

I kiss your neck and nibble your ear

I tell you that you're beautiful, dear.

You close your eyes and breathe in deep;

Across your stomach my fingers creep.

From your navel to your chest,

My teasing hands avoid your breast,

Up to your neck and along your jaw,

I turn your head with a gentle draw.

Our faces meet and we lock eyes,

The kiss is sweet and my body cries

To surrender all of me to you:

My mind. My body. My spirit, too.

The fire and passion we share together

Feel like they could just burn forever

But our bodies, they will never meet - 

Our fire and passion are kept discrete.

Our lives are different - they're worlds apart.

You are too young, your life has yet to start.

I am an old man, compared to you.

If only I were still twenty two...

Then the dream of you I shared above

Could be more than a glimpse of love

And my fiery passion and carnal vice

Could find you hot as lava and cool as ice.

A thousand lives

I met an earthly angel today,
in a moment of fleeting glory.
In her presence, my breath is taken away
and my mind is challenged by her story.

A thousand lives, two thousand deaths,
four thousand smiles, six thousand breaths,
eight thousand years, ten thousand grains,
twelve thousand joys... but just one pain.

I see forever in her sky blue eyes,
the pillowy clouds of darkness rain.
I see forever in her smiling face,
her fear and solitude are not contained.

A thousand tears, two thousand sniffs,
four thousand sobs, six thousand gifts,
eight thousand frowns, ten thousand sets,
twelve thousand shouts... but just one regret

My mind is challenged by her story,
in her presence, my breath is taken away.
In a moment of fleeting glory,
I met an earthly angel today.
