she asks me why I like to play…
hey… no way…
this isn’t a game…
this is serious today… he’s looking our way…
the one I want to see naked… be naked with…
our thoughts exposed for all to see…
uncovered and shaking… quaking the ground… unsteady minds all around…
waiting for walls to come tumbling down…
why frown…
smile… laugh… revel in our gaffes… art is to be enjoyed like that…
unrestricted… and yes… even conflicted…
it can be overwhelming… relentlessly compelling…
both magical and free…
seeking to please…
created between us three… a ménage a trois we can be…
you… me… and him…
and them… one… two… three… four… no telling how many, many more…
secrets begging to be unsealed… longing to be revealed…
hidden in darkness…
silent and daring… ready for sharing…
why hold back…
does it feel like an attack…
an attack on our senses…
breaking down all our defenses…
are we worried about denigration…
do we fear alienation…
for who we are…
for proudly wearing scars…
scars that defy our bleeding hearts…
we are who we are…
we are all rock stars…
each… in our own way…
let’s not be afraid…
let’s say what we came to say…
let’s write and portray…
lets’ be ourselves…
always…

are we worried about denigration…
do we fear alienation…
for who we are…
for proudly wearing scars…
scars that defy our bleeding hearts…
we are who we are…
we are all rock stars…
each… in our own way…
let us not be afraid…
let us say what we came to say…
let us write and portray…
lets’ be ourselves…
always…
silent and daring… ready for sharing…
secrets begging to be unsealed… longing to be revealed…
out of the darkness & into the light
while waiting for walls to come tumbling down…
why frown…
smile… laugh… revel in our gaffes… art is to be enjoyed like that…
unrestricted… and yes… even conflicted…
it can be overwhelming… relentlessly compelling…
both magical and free…

i'm in love
