Array ( [sid] => 24170 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => sway over me [time] => 2003-10-01 06:05:00 [hometext] => sometimes we are stuck in the meanest of places..... [bodytext] => there was pretense in every motion
clever and disturbing verses
that you promised were just for me
in stillness I could hear you coming
in darkness I waited for eternity

sway over me as men do
and I will bend as you wish me to

dancing naked before the firelight
twirling heart and soul into mine
righteousness is overrated I’ve been told
but then I run with the devil himself
the flicker in green eyes turned gold

sway over me as men do
and I will bend as you wish me to

watching for some slip of tongue
listening to your silky song
the click and locking of the door
the embers glow in red hot slumber
as you come closer seeking more

sway over me as men do
and I will bend as you wish me to

I pull away and grab my heart
wrapped in rags and tattered pride
wishing I could fly away
from your dark and sinful looks
knowing I am doomed to stay

sway over me as men do
and I will bend as you wish me to

Well Merry...not being a woman it's difficult for me to read this from a ladies point of view. However, from a mans point of view it sounds like you're a lot of fun on a date! Are ya busy next weekend? lmao....

Sorry , it's this damn irreverent mood I'm in.

This was well written and I felt the turmoil within. No kiss is so sweet as the kiss of a lie.

( A very "impressive" poem)

I found some time to get around
at last escaped from out my pound
I'm really shocked at what I've found
a place where naughty girls abound

A torment-ed slacious sound
such thoughts that do my mind astound
I wondered why they "sleep around|"
and what they think of when they're "downed"
