Play Me [lyrics]

(Pensively wait for you to start)

(Mm yes you know just what I want)

I catch my breath, catch my breath, catch my breath

Catch my!

Pensively wait for you to start

Mm yes you know just what I want

Pluck the tension in my heart strings

You know the notes that make me sing

Play me

Play me

Play me

baby x2

I catch my breath, catch my breath, catch my breath

Catch my!

You start off slow, I ache know,  where this will go,

I'm waiting! 

I'm wait-en..

I catch my breath you start off slow

My body moves to your tempo

Oh down my ribs you run your slide

Your touch EQs my warm insides

Play me

Play me

Play me

baby x2

I catch my breath, catch my breath, catch my breath

Catch my!

You start off slow, I ache know,  where this will go,

I'm waiting! 

I'm wait-en..

Past players left me wanting more

No one's played me like you before

Took a Master to make me sing

For only you does my soul ring

Play me

Play me

Play me

baby x2

I catch my breath, catch my breath, catch my breath

Catch my!

Is this the time, give me a sign, could you be mine

I'm begging! 

I'm beg-en..

I see you like an instrument

Oh trust me don't be diffident

We are a pair of tuning forks

I can play you by arcane force

Play me

Play me

Play me

baby x2

I catch my breath, catch my breath, catch my breath

Catch my!

You breathe me in, we're skin to skin, so it begins

So it begins

It be-gins,

So it be-gins,

It be-gins...

Mad Libs [lyrics]

 Nothin's wrong but everything's off

I force a smile and you play along

You're filling blanks with words I like

Order one more round of drinks

Date night

Mad libs

Is this really

All there is

Date night

Mad libs

We were once

More than this

Nothings wrong but everything's off

I force a smile and you play along

You say how lucky we must be

But you don't really see me

I'm drunk now but

Sure let's play

Autumn

Violet

Jubilee

Is this all we're meant to be

Funny it's just gravity

Is it fun

Is this fun

Now it's all so funny

Night Swinging [lyrics]

 [draft]

A tired swing on a lonely beach

The breeze loves to play with it

I rest down on its creaking seat

And let breeze play with us both

The night makes you forget

What you want to remember

And helps remember

What you long to forget

Nocturnal animals

Always longing for dusk

We wild things come alive

Drawn to moon-bulged tides

In her darkness we cure

Our salt-brined insides

Muse [Lyrics]

Color me, mysterious

Did I catch your eye

Was it my technicolor aura

Was it my indigo vibe 

 

Do you prefer your image 

Reflected in fawning eyes

Do I make you feel special

As your hand slides up my thigh  

 

Am I the object 

Of your desire

Do I make you 

Feel alive

Do I ignite 

Your drive, baby 

While I’m 

Dead inside

 

Lean in slow and kiss me baby.

I’m not home behind the eyes

But I left a key under the mat

For you baby so come inside 

 

Tilt my hips and arch my spine 

Until I make you grow inspired 

Drain my juices with jumper cables 

Plug in me to stay alive 

 

Am I the object 

Of your desire

Do I make you 

Feel alive

Do I ignite 

Your drive, baby 

While I’m 

Dead inside

 

Is it really me, you see

Or a version, fantasy

Am I plastic, barbie-core

Your wet dream je t’adore 

 

Am I the object 

Of your desire

Do I make you 

Feel alive

Do I ignite 

Your drive, baby 

While I’m 

Dead inside.

Situationship. [Lyrics]

Heyyy there, beautiful.

You're a breath of fresh air

Outta left field I swiped right

On those eyes and jet black hair

So jump on the back of my cafe racer

And let's go somewhere

Let's go, some, where...

Let's go, some, where...

 

(He says)

I love the rush of your

Push notifications 

I love our talks at 2 am

I love the way I feel

Sliding into you

But I'm allergic to 

I love you

 

Hey there, baby.

I know it's not polite

Sorry I've been so busy

I've only got two hours tonight

Here's my intermittent attention

Not enough but alright

I know you best,

I know what you like...

Let's go, some, where...

Let's go, some, where...

 

(He says)

I love the rush -

Your push notifications

I love your nails in my hair

I love the way I feel

Sliding into you

But I'm allergic to 

I love you

 

Heyyyy, there baby

I know, it's been a while

You wanna scratch that itch again

I saw your post, I like your style

You can be my sapiosexual

I'll be your discophile

I know you best,

I know what you like..

Let's go, some, where

Let's go, oh, let's go,

Let's go, oh, let's go,

Let's  go, oh let's go, some, where!

- 

He quotes Aurelius

Promises no guise

Sometimes I glimpse

The pain in his eyes

I wanna crack him open

But am terrified to try

We die from the unsaid

He holds it, holds it inside...

 

He holds it inside..

(Let's go, oh, let's go)

Holds it inside...

(Let's go, oh, let's go)

He holds it inside...

(Let's go, oh, let's go, some, where...)

Be Me.

I assembled a

pretty picture

of a girl

everybody wanted

but now I'm

feeling haunted.

Not sure it's

the one I wanted.

Not sure I

know what I mean

if you know

what I mean.

Maybe you tell me?

Or maybe not.

Maybe this time,

I will dump out

all the pieces

on the floor again.

Rearrange and

reimagine and

reassemble me again.

Not to be

an illusion,

a delusion, or

a pretty effigy.

But just to

be me.

[2024]

Walk Past The Mirror

A walk past the mirror

shows how pretty she is

Wide wise eyes canopied

by the arch of her brow

rosy red lips

her heart-shaped face

framed by her long lustrous hair

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

Who is the fairest of them all?

Looking glass shadows

the pain of her heart

Reflections of light hide

her feelings of dark

Bitter memories and

sour embraces

From men holding the body

untying the laces

Mirror sees the 

beauty without

but is blind to the

darkness within

You only have to look

past the mirror.

[1996]
