For Thy Naked Beauty I Shall Now Spurn
For Thy Naked Beauty I Shall Now Spurn
For thy naked beauty I shall now spurn
with faith in walking a most righteous road.
Look up, mountains ahead, bridges to burn
thy desires were much too heavy a load.
Pangs of regret, still invade longing heart
crashing all thy dream castles from the air.
Intensity of thy lusts forced us part
each day I battle deepest, dark despair.
For thy naked beauty I may still want
thou may now hear that sad truth with a smile.
In midnight dreams thy naked body taunts
with sexual lusts to my soul beguile.
Thy power screams beyond thy shallow grave
to remind, sworn oath I foolishly gave.
