Poetic Interlude #1 - Women

AS DYLAN AS I GET

Don’t ask me to call out your name girl
I wouldn’t even if I could
The tears have choked me so much it’s a shame girl
And my voice don’t work so good
Your leaving me was surely no surprise
And how you did it forced me to realize
I couldn’t have been worth too much in your eyes
But, don’t think twice, it’s alright

Violence never was your style girl
Causing scenes was more your speed
A cry for help, a statement of denial girl
Cunning barbs to make me bleed
You ran the tab so high, you couldn’t foot the bill
You wanted me to pay and you expect it still
You’ll just keep waiting with your finger in the till
Oh, don’t think twice, it’s alright

You had your day in court, I had mine girl
I wonder what all did it prove
You said I changed that I had crossed the line girl
And drove you to make that move
You left me hanging when I needed you to stay
Somebody else’s bed was calling you away
But, your needs were always more important anyway
So, don’t think twice, it’s alright

The years that have passed have not been kind girl
Happiness screeches to a halt
Since you believe in the grand design girl
Then nothing could ever be your fault
But, if there’s something to this karma stuff
If it’s not just another cosmic bluff
I can rest comfortably knowing you’re gonna get it rough
And don’t think twice, it’s alright

EASY GIRL

I’ll tell my story I’m a guy who is grieved
By a penchant for women who can’t be believed
Their sinfulness oozes from beauty that captures my soul

Maybe it’s just me I can’t get too much
Sick in the psyche attracted to their touch
When decadence drains from their kisses I’m left with a hole

(Chorus)
Because the girls I date are always pretty picky
Which translates into affairs that are sticky
Can’t I just for once find an easy girl

Someone to love and trust someone who won’t hurt me
Is it too much for her to be hot and dirty
Can’t I just for once find an easy girl

Jenny, Keri, Heidi, and Hailey
Girl after girl has tried to derail me
Push them away but I go out and find more

So why do they want me I’ve nothing to give
Don’t even have enough money to live
The meaner I get the more they line up at my door

(Chorus)
Because the girls I date are always pretty picky
Which translates into affairs that are sticky
Can’t I just for once find an easy girl

Someone to love and trust someone who won’t hurt me
Is it too much for her to be hot and dirty
Can’t I just for once find an easy girl

Pick up the pieces with far too much ease
Lock up the closets with skeleton keys
Will nothing break me from this cycle of debauchery?

Know what I want but I never get it
That’s just a lie but I’ll never admit it
I get what I want but I want what I do not need

(Chorus)
Because the girls I date are always pretty picky
Which translates into affairs that are sticky
Can’t I just for once find an easy girl

Someone to love and trust someone who won’t hurt me
Is it too much for her to be hot and dirty
Can’t I just for once find an easy girl

GREEN EYES

O that the radiance of your eyes
Would on mine befall
Without guile or guise
In love deemed mutual
For this I surely strive
To Sydney or Tokyo
As long as I'm alive
J'vous suit partout

Yet, you've no want nor need
At least tis this you know
And thus I must plant the seed
Of consciousness soon to grow
And love will rightly blossom
As I know was destined to be
Cold jade eyes to some
Will shine like emeralds for me

YEUX - TROIS COULEURS

She holds me down with upper hands and ties me up in strings
She keeps me waiting by the phone for the message that she brings
Her brown eyes sing a cunning tale of sadistic misery
‘The Wall’ on acid can’t describe just what she does to me
In between extremes I linger, haunted by tainted fear
Laughed at by bondsmen who cry by career
Strangely silhouetted in screens of sugared silk
Sacrificed though my only crime was tasting of her milk
Thus I spill out, trickling to and fro
Attempting to hold her fast as she works to let me go
Lost until she loves
Loved until she loathes
Loathed until she leaves
Left until she is replaced

She holds me fast with shapeliness, between her thighs a whip
It’s the same trap I once laughed at and told my friends to skip
For beauty’s sake I wear the marks and let them giggle a bit
Exposed upon the water their punches never hit
Grounded though, she bores me with infantile malaise
A quick-stepped sunny-sided mechanical disgrace
Her blue eyes are about as deep as a toilet bowl and it may be time to flush
But a cursory glance is all it takes to ask myself, “what’s the rush?”
Yes, of course I linger, perhaps a bit too long
But in the end it’s not me to point out something’s wrong
Eroded until it arrives
Arrived after it ends
Ended and yet it echoes
Echoed until she was replaced

She holds me up with backhands and tracks me down by lies
Could it be my future I see in those green eyes
A subtle mix of roses, romance, and reliance
Not a thing to justify my random acts of defiance
It’s there for the taking, yet I can not get a grip
Patiently, she chalks herself and still my hands slip
She is my perfection and she loves me genuinely
I feel the same for her, then do what comes naturally
Scoop me up
Sell my soul
Light another Marlboro
Of course she too will have to be replaced…
