Passion's Lustful Cape

     "Passion's Lustful Cape"




Selfish motives tempted heart
you threw caution to wild wind
Passion's lustful cape,  Choked our sweet love drape
broken pieces wound for you have sinned.

Selfish feelings robbed two souls
carved in stone from childhood intertwine
Choked our sweet love drape, Passion's lustful cape
cloaked in sorrow as tears feast to dine.

Selfish emotions raged on
careless whispers uttered through long night
Passion's lustful cape, Choked our sweet love drape
smothered breath until out of sight.

Selfish ways destroy persona
yet you made me a stronger lady
Choked our sweet love drape, Passion's lustful cape
found love without Gentleman Shady.

this is a very worthy topic to discuss in a dodoitsu such as this one, Linda. I really enjoyed reading this one especially with that stuff coming up for me in maybe 8 years. (if I still am eligible for social security stuff by then) I'm so sorry for all your problems, dear. are you asking TPS really nicely and explaining the exact problem? Do you use explorer? If so, stop it right away and change to google chrome. I had problems before using chrome. Luv, Andrea
