there was a time

there was a time
not long ago
less than ten years
the words would flow
so full of hope
and dreams of love
the first promise
the memory of
the first passion
the innocence
the magic moment
the great suspence
the beautiful
innocent lust
unconditional
love and trust

there was a time
the rhymes would flow
three four a day
creative glow
the mind would dream
the heart would speak
the spirit flew
above the peak
of every love
that came before
whatever was
that one was more

and she gave herself to me instinctively
and she gave her love to me innocently
and she gave her heart and soul and more
like no one ever gave before
the greatest dream ever dreamed
the greatest love ever loved
the greatest trust ever trusted
the greatest belief ever believed
the greatest greatest great
well, this was more

there was a time
when everything
was in her eyes
and the passion
between her thighs
was sudden bliss
and i was lost
within her kiss
and in her arms
and i could die
oh i could die
i could die
happily
but i would live
forever
and a day
just for one more moment
that she'd love me
just for each moment
she'd love me

there was a time
decades ago
when words would rhyme
and love would flow

wrap

and if i wrap myself around you
would you melt into my soul
would you wriggle as if resisting
only to enjoy the rub

and if you wrap yourself around me
would it be losing control
would you deny conscious choices
like the ring around the tub

how many times will you turn away
from the obvious experience you deny every day
how many times will you run and hide
from the euphoric experience you can know inside
when you come inside

holy men have haunted you for years
challenging your passion and your pain
so afraid of feeling that they condemn feeling real
drinking your tears, washing your brain, killing your zeal
until you don't know how you feel or if you feel
or what is real

and if i wrap myself around you
would you understand a thing
would you play the social game boy
fingering all the right keys

and if you wrap yourself around me
would you want a wedding ring
would you place rules and conditions
on the birds and the bees

how many times will you play the fool
in the natural experience that you try to rule
how many times will you play the game
exchanging love and peace for guilt and shame
and laying the blame

on holy men ahead of you for years
feeding you false hope between their lies
so afraid of living that they fixate on despair
and death as cheers pretend the fears are all you share
until you don't know how to care or why you're here
or who cares

time enough for love
if you live so long
answers wait for you
just like this song
all you have to do
is open your mind
the truth is there
where's it's always been
while you look elsewhere
instead of within
fear has made you blind
to your own mind
no wonder you think
life is unkind

and if i wrap myself around you
what would it mean?
was it all a dream?
