Seeds
Rust stains on morning sheets
Sharp exhalation, rush of relief
The bird's escaped the bee
Eyes lock complicitly
Shared joy, a smile, then you tear them free
And flee, to tiled sanctuary
Gambling all against the call of nature
I fold that role of life creator
Could be a bitter twist awaits me later
But I'll let it ride
Facing this age-old stress
Premeditation works out best
Slide safety off the gun
With each day overdue
We fortify positions strewn
Around your sanctum sanctorum
Gambling all against the call of nature
I fold that role of life creator
Could be a bitter twist awaits me later
But I'll let it ride
Your phallic fetters get the better of me every time
I ache for you but
Care must be taken not to awaken that fertile mound
Spray herbicide and
Scatter my seeds in barren fields on rocky mountainsides
We must deny them
Purchase in a surface where their roots can spread beneath the ground and
Grow to flower in your garden
Love's not a factor here
Nor advancing years or financial fears
Those points may not be blunt
But it's pure philosophy
Maslow's peak trumps biology
Self-absorption's my chief affront
Gambling all against the call of nature
I fold that role of life creator
Could be a bitter twist awaits me later
But I'll let it ride
Sharp exhalation, rush of relief
The bird's escaped the bee
Eyes lock complicitly
Shared joy, a smile, then you tear them free
And flee, to tiled sanctuary
Gambling all against the call of nature
I fold that role of life creator
Could be a bitter twist awaits me later
But I'll let it ride
Facing this age-old stress
Premeditation works out best
Slide safety off the gun
With each day overdue
We fortify positions strewn
Around your sanctum sanctorum
Gambling all against the call of nature
I fold that role of life creator
Could be a bitter twist awaits me later
But I'll let it ride
Your phallic fetters get the better of me every time
I ache for you but
Care must be taken not to awaken that fertile mound
Spray herbicide and
Scatter my seeds in barren fields on rocky mountainsides
We must deny them
Purchase in a surface where their roots can spread beneath the ground and
Grow to flower in your garden
Love's not a factor here
Nor advancing years or financial fears
Those points may not be blunt
But it's pure philosophy
Maslow's peak trumps biology
Self-absorption's my chief affront
Gambling all against the call of nature
I fold that role of life creator
Could be a bitter twist awaits me later
But I'll let it ride
