Loving You Is Easy

Warm feelings of contentment and familiarity
Everything quite organized surfacing with clarity
Smiles relinquished without rumor or suggestion
The hand that's missing the ace of diamonds in question
Long evenings spent side by side without confrontation
A shoulder to lean on forgetting intruding desolation

Blue skies for stormy days ahead in the far distance
Thoughts discussed in the open missing passive resistance
Clear shallow waters have nothing to hide or to disclose
Love offered is quietly breathing careful not to impose
Topics of the day are the menu or upcoming festivities
In unity decisions are made about contributing activities

Daily phone calls at work talking about traffic and weather
Consuming happiness about a great life spend together
At night longing dreams of different times bring confusion
While long gone passions abandoned voice reason of disillusion
In the morning life returns to its usual track real breezy
But considering everything life is good and loving you is easy

Amsterdam at Night

The red lights turn on when it's dark outside
Clients searching for things they will never confide
Standing on cobblestones looking up from the street
Illuminated windows highlight goods indiscreet

Under wigs and make up beauty is disguised
What you see is what you get as advertised
Bodies carefully displayed in all shapes and sizes
Gender confusion may cause hidden surprises

Here everything goes and nothing is really taboo
Flesh covered by garments that are see through
Customer service for every fetish is provided
If you're unsure take a full tour that is guided

Bars and shops are open for personal entertainment
If you have the money you can make an arrangement
Dancers deliver the illusion of art hanging from a pole
While the police gets free coffee when on nightly patrol

Love of Flavors

Preferences vary the same as arrays of attractions
Different flavors often cause interesting reactions
People in general react to the same stimulations
I in particular fall repeatedly for the same temptations
Cayenne pepper burns like your love on a hot day
Frozen Mojito's you made for me - served on a tray

Your lotion is slippery and smells of earth and rain
Leaving a slight shimmer on your skin I cannot constrain
The vague scent of your shower soap lingers in your hair
And my senses you set aflame each time I'm fully aware
The hint of fabric softener on the shirt you wear today
I embrace like a gift from you when close to me you stay

When driving to the coast I fall for the salty sea breeze
Imitating your sweat on my body while it's you I please
Being with you triggers my senses right now and when I dream
And alone with you your scent drives me to the extreme
Little pearls of your sweat I conceive like fluid for my soul
All of your flavors actually send me spinning out of control

Lost Identity

Right here walking alone down the road I feel free
Because there is nothing pressuring me to agree
I can miss a step or slow down and shout out loud
Because no one will ask what I'm screaming about

Around you I have to watch my every step and move
Being careful not to do anything you'll not approve
Somewhere some time ago I lost me and became you
Being who you want me to be - someone brand new

My nails are now manicured and I wear a heavy ring
You only buy me designer outfits as a regular thing
I drive what you bought because you donated my car
But sometimes I can't breathe because my life is afar

You are always working and your time for me is spare
My days are filled with silly things and that's not fair
I finished my degree but now I don't remember why
Because here I live my life around you on stand by

Fertility

As a little girl I was prepared to be fertile
But I knew all along it wasn’t my style
I made plans for a future and career
Everything I lined out very sincere
There was no room for additional life
I never missed a family or being a wife

Then only once I lost myself in another
Very briefly I surrendered to smother
I was tempted and invincible for a while
Until I left sentiments behind like a junk pile
In my schedule and work I found satisfaction
I was on my path again without distraction

The corporate world is a tough play ground
Women have to fight harder to stick around
What is given to a man a woman has to earn
And it is a lonely path disregarding concern
I played by the rules and had it all figured out
But life reserved the last laugh without doubt

Faith

I want to be tightly embraced by strong steel beams
Anchored in the hard ground buried by my screams
Rushing through millenniums without recognizing time
Forgetting the promises of a suffered through prime
Searching for skeletons in my closet long left behind
I assign new meanings to curves now newly streamlined

Sharp rusty particles cut open the raw pain in my veins
While I go on vacation boarding camouflaged war planes
The beat of empty drums reflect the throbbing of my heart
And forlorn silence sells the notes of a rejuvenated Mozart
Then I step onto a salty desert converting it to green wetlands
Hanging from stalactite I swing from secured iron wristbands

Later I report to do time sweeping sorrows from sidewalks
Listening to a sermon delivering empty promises and talks
I bleach out blood stains from a long white Christening gown
Knowing that time has failed me giving birth to a cultured clown
But all is not lost yet assigning new hope in form of reincarnations
We always have a second chance if choosing the right destinations

Matchmaker

Behind my house there is a quaint little pond
And every time it rains a little green frog responds
I know that he is lonely and cries into the night
He is longing to find a mate to be complete and all right

The heat is sweltering and he swims on afternoons
Longing for the rain during the night to voice his tunes
Sometimes he is resting on a moist mossy green rock
Looking around aware of his biological clock

On the other side there is a creek behind the pool
There is a small green frog all alone and it's cruel
So I went and captured the one by my pond
And brought it over to the creek to make a bond

Now my nights are filled with silence and peace
And one would think my good night's rest would increase
But instead I was wondering if the frogs getting along
Because if not - then what I did was totally wrong

Tango D'Amore

Staring at the one you love and perspire
Intense emotions confined in balls of fire
The black shirt covers his bold tattoos
While she stands and it's him she refuses
He challenges her love with a daring stare
Trembling she finally admits to the affair

Eyes lock and longing now rawly displayed
It's too late to be gentle and to persuade
The powerful rhythm of the Tango is heard
Surroundings are fading and no one stirred
The first touch is fueled with burning coals
Lovers standing still to surrender all controls

With a left step he is demanding the lead
Giving in she moves backwards as agreed
He pushes her but she comes back really strong
Both understand what's at stake and prolong
Movements are spontaneous and freely driven
The dance is a fight and no judgment is given

What If!

Adam - what would you say to me today?
Would you be sorry for the lies told
about my seduction? Would you tell the truth today?
Would you admit that we developed equally from
tiny particles through space and time!

Holy Pope - do you weep at night about the blood
that's clinging to your fortunes? About the
children sacrificed, the virgins raped and the women
burned in the name of God! Do you think that today
God would accept an invitation to your house?

Jesus - would you be dressed in a suit today trying to
sell your writings to strangers? Would the publishers reject
you, having missed bloody crusades and endless wars!
Would you dream of the path of destruction you caused, if
born over 2000 years ago before praying in the synagogue?

Revising history could we have a daughter of God, born
to forgive the sins of men. Could God her mother be a merciful

Off Days

On my off days I may need a little attention
Just a smile may be o.k. that rids the tension
Sometimes there are clouds that are really dark
No matter what I say or do I just miss the mark

There are days I say things to cover up my fear
You will have to listen closely so it becomes clear
At random I may want everything right here and then
To disguise my hurt over and over time and again

Occasionally all I see is the damage previously done
Paralyzed I say crazy things forgetting where it begun
I started collecting my hurt going a long time back
Defenseless I show it sometimes all gloomy and black

I am sorry but there are days I can't laugh or smile
Taking cover I may hide without going the extra mile
I feel like drowning and emotions threaten to overflow
It's hard to stay focused when carrying a big load very slow
