Against My Orders

My mind has orders... Not to allow any single thought of you to enter Nor to retrieve any sweet memory of your smile My heart has orders.... To shoot to kill any warm sentiment or feeling of devotion to you That threatens a rebellion My lips have orders.... To imprison any kind or loving word that is pleading for passage To your ears My eyes have orders.... Not to let any look of longing or of fervent desire be revealed As they search your face Then day turns to night... And, against my orders, you confidently stride into my life... My eyes forget their orders...as they drink in your beauty and follow your every move through the verdant fields of my dreams My lips forget their orders...as they gush forth with promises of eternal love and faithfulness to you My heart forgets its orders...as it throbs at your command to awaken love and to live, beat and bleed for you. My mind forgets its orders... as it immortalizes your every move, look, word and touch, storing up the scenes with hungry greed Then night turns to day... And with it comes the dawning of reality Frantically, a new set of orders are issued... To my mind, my heart, my eyes and my lips While my whole soul, my very being Burns in torment Awaiting the blessed night And the release that comes from.... A land without orders!
