they beckon me
in quiet moments
threatening me
with exposure
uninvited
little memories
wickedly taunt
my composure
close your eyes
search his face, a
mood altering drug
I simply can't erase
erotic stimulation
blinding from within
another night alone
another mortal sin
let it go
feel the pain
a sudden drizzle
torrential rain
into the looking glass
smiling softly, I stare
who is this stranger
lurking there?
a devil
a screamer
an angel
a dreamer
moods betray
looks deceive
avoid the heart
upon my sleeve
perhaps you see
beyond the mirror
through the facade
and past the fear
mood swings
desperate cries
she stands bemused
over sweet little lies
moody blues
behind the door
shadow dance
across the floor
savor the music
ignore that alarm
close your eyes
dismiss the charm
excuse me, sir
don't mean to be rude
I'd ask you to dance
but I'm not in the mood
kiss her quick
before she fades
close the door and
draw the shades
sweet Jesus
just give me
one moment
of calm with
strong arms
'round my body
that will stay
through the dawn
give me a beach
to bake and bask
fuel my energy
forsake the past
shove me up
against the wall
another mood
another call
whispering winds
free my spirit
my heart races
refusing to fear it
it being love
love being you
catch me I'm falling
into the mood
and like a feather I
float into the abyss
of a thousand emotions
from a myriad of years and
invading my entire
being, without asking
I embrace them
in defeat...
