Needs and Demands

I want you to want,

Even in the late hour,

Even if your only company will be my slumber,

It hurts when you settle for less,

Throw away your realism,

It’s no good here,

I want something real,

My expectations are high,

Delayed schedules and lack of priority,

Don’t you see?

You get what you put in.

An unfinished painting with painful dust,

Such a vibrant beginning,

Your love is lost in translation,

And I don’t know who’s at fault anymore,

In contrast to time’s wife,

Can anyone stay afloat?

Please prove me wrong,

Give me hope and face,

A face to kiss and a face to disappoint,

A face that cares and a face that misses,

A face that desires and a face that hurts,

A face that is real and imperfect in such a perfect way.

I want you to want me more than wanting,

I need you to need me enough to prove it every day,

I am a spoiled woman, yes,

And I won’t be pleased with less,

Less than I’ve known and less than I deserve,

But what about you?

I need you to need things as well,

I need demands from you,

I need you to want enough to demand,

So we can figure this all out together,

Hand in hand,

And heart in heart,

While cuddling in our sleeping bag that overlooks the sun.

The Good Life

As I said,

Damp from a spring of warmth,

Turn cold from tropical rain,

I will always be there for you,

And boy, I am loyal to a fault,

Its undeniable,

You have a part of me now,

Wrapped with Guatemalan textiles,

Nica punch drunk love,

Black sand Tuncos,

Ha, you betta Belize that we are in Rica now,

But of what?

Cuz all I see is red,

Volcano dust in our shoes,

Pools of remarkable beauty,

Green has been redefined all over,

Mayans of steps and unnatural carpeted peaks among the rolling hills,

I wish it was as simple,

But it’s time to roll the dice,

And fill our souls,

Complimentary of Margaritas,

As we cross our fingers and pray for no dicky bellies,

But memorable blokes and worldly laughs,

Fortune is bursting and I can only smile,

Damn, Blue Eyes,

We live well.
