AmTake if you will a pC9icture of you and GI engaged in a kiss.
The sAmweat of your body cC9overs me. Can you my daGrling,
CGan you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard: Oceans and violets in bloom.
Animals strike curious poses. They feel the heat,
The heat between me and you.
Touch if you will my stomach. Feel how it trembles inside.
You’ve got the butterflies all tied up. Don’t make me chase you
‘Cause even doves have pride.
How can you just leave me standing; alone in the world so cold.
Maybe I’m just too demanding. Maybe I’m just like my father,
Too cold. Maybe I’m just like my mother. She’s never satisfied.
Never satisfAmied with each othC9er.
GThis is what
sounds like when the doves cry.
