Why you do that

Why you give me your number,
And then not pick up my calls
Why you do that,
Why you do that ?

Why you charming with your chat
And smile when I catch you scowling in the hall
Why you do that
Why you do that?

Have you got an adverse version of love,
Or is that for your ideal person
I'm ticking none of the above ?
A summer bell,
You camoflage your trouble well
And sabotage your feelings
Soon as they begin to swell.
I could try I kiss and tell
But then I reckon that you bite
Hopeful. Worse than that
I reckon you turn up your nose and cut it off,
Just to show your spite.

For Cat

You the most voluptuous temptress
Faye hostess in the black dress.
Oh to know one slow caress
I feel my whole soul possessed.

Your blessed chest makes my eyes mist
The way your thighs switch,
I try but I can't fight it.
Oh for some golden moment

Most precious, presses of your lucious, languid kisses and flesh
Leaves no breath
No less
The sweetest death.

Hello again

I say hello again.
Your face in the morning
Intoxicating,
Making me loose myself
My mental health escaping.
I've had my warnings,
But torn between your haven
And being born again
I fall once again
Into harm,
Into your arms.

These psalms from rounded palms
My soft alarm bells
My yarn that there's no way to tell.
My hell, or quiet purgatory.
It's funny, at night
I think how I might murder me.

Praise be to calm and the straight laced.
Praise be to them that charm with a straight face.
Praise be to those happy with any, any embrace.
Sometimes I envy these heads,
But it ain't the way I'm placed.

So I sit where I can hear the wood creak
Sometimes think of friends with whom I could speak
But I guess as we grew we needed more space
And I guess there's no law now that ties to a place.

I remember the formica and concrete ramps
I remember the parties where we blew up the amps.
Those days aren't what's missing
Though I miss the collective
I've never had what I'm missing now
What's changed is perspective.
