Love Does Not Live Here

Love Does Not Live Here

Lust, a feeling that awakens the heart
The same song played for years
Verses coming, verses going, written, erased
Beloved classic songs, more of the 80’s played on repeats
I have played that scene, I am still in that play
Ladies naked on my stage, belly dancing under the late night lights
And they would hush upon my chest to meditate
Waking up, a lonely soul, finding nothing out of lust
Blueberry pancakes, caffé latté, a rose on the side, I served and left
Not as a thank you token, but a gesture “you will find love someday”
Being sincere I move on from where I left, to where the light turns
Where roses are not all red, violets blue and the rest burn
Kisses resting on me in ways I could explain
A satisfying dance that has no games, no brakes, no heartbreaks
No tears, no frowns but simple happiness, a complement
It is a pleasure

Love, a verb, a feeling that makes the heart meditate
A lie to a few who have been played by those they love
Like any individual who falls in love at first sight, a cliche right?
Power steered towards aggressive, passionate, or simple sex
Harbored beautiful secrets of every stranger that meets the other
It is no lie that love is unfair, lust is fair
It makes no sense and yet you have been there
Desperate to connect
Broken by love
Built to lust till love makes its appeal
Good, bad, I am not to judge
If lust is a sin, I have played that card in several ways
Someday it will explode into a fearless response
And up in the sky I will stare, listening to nothing but silence
Clouds hovering up above in different shapes under the sunset
Stars lined up in form of a milkyway to light up its path in pure darkness
My thoughts going where the wind blows, with my heart in arms
Dawning into reality and not a fantasy

Love does not live here at this time
Tomorrow will tell its own tale
And it would be a pleasure
