Lustless Prophecy
by
Daniel Bradbury
Can love ever be as simple
as men can be jealous?
Or, as easy to grasp as children's emotions?
Why must the world's most beautiful emotion
also be it's most hideously painful one?
You cause love to show it's true face
when you smile & laugh w/ me.
You also cause love to show it's 2cd true face,
when you turn & walk away,
unknowing of my soul
The soul w/ tear stained cheeks.
You've shown me love's joys & pains,
& given me a glimpse of real right.
You give me pain & power,
Loving prowess & squalor,
& the power to have lustless prophecies of love.
Prophecies of soft touch & soft words.
I feel everything
(The emotions that are here)
& think these thoughts,
every time I catch your unwavering eye.
& tears well up in my heart
w/ each turning & parting
(Still unknowing)
I secretly weep inside w/ each "Goodbye".
& I'm still known only as a friend.
I would treat you gently
& love you w/ all affection.
All of affection.
I dream of your love & mine
Entwined & everlasting.
For my love to kiss yours,
& your love to kiss mine
