Caught Astray With the Goddess
CAUGHT ASTRAY WITH THE GODDESS.
Not always do I have my lens on
Call it a strain, but just want to be free
Trying to bring to focus every fair and dark
I can't be more absorbed than I am right now
This is the point of no return
Lead me not astray o thou my eyes
Bond not my heart to that wish is too high
This isn't one of those beds
So forget getting paired in your nest
Lay yourself and have a peaceful rest
Pardon my naughtiness motionless image
I could have looked beyond your face
Forgive me I tend to stare farther than the necklace
Though it caught my attention but for a moment
I tamed my eyes to look less
But the beast beating in my chest is something else
Even when I wear no cover lens
It fuses through the body like an x-ray
I tapped my mind but it was just too far
I wish I won't have to tell you how far I went this time
Now I know not all that passes through the body touches the blood
Seriously, you got to know this not me
Cloth confines the eyes but just a lead for the mind
May be I shouldn't have looked into your eyes
May be I wouldn't have been trapped in this beats.
And I won't have had a reason to feel this guilty
Wish I never obeyed my father and had disappointed my mother
May be I wouldn't be captured and enslaved by the roar of your words
May be those letters moulded into words wouldn't have knocked me off my feet
I sorry I strayed beyond the face
I'm sorry I lured after your shape
I'm sorry I couldn't tame my rage
And my sense never reasoned your age
I simply go by the old sage
Oju o ni ri arewa ko ma rotate.
Forgive me I stopped to imagine your hips
Seriously I never wanted to go beyond your waist
I just thought it may be a waste
If I failed to check you out again
Tell me wishing isn't a sin
And I won't have to be dying in me in bits
Tell me wishing isn't a crime
And I won't have to spend my life taste of lime
I'm a young man full of life
Just want to be happy and stay alive
Beautiful goddess the rose of the cherubim
Stainless artifacts, painted like the artworks of the ancient sculptures
Carved like the image of the legends
Worshiped like the great statue of the Hindus
Respected like the temples alters
Talked about like the stories of the old books
Even though I covet her like a gem
And desire her like the lost treasures
It might be a daydreaming
But it never stops me from believing
That one day, I can lay my hands on a part of that moon linings
And I can do that without flying.
Tell the beautiful goddess
It is true that I covet
And may be my mind just astray went
But I still say this with much stress
I respect you more than in excess
I caught my mind astray on the express.
But wish I could report myself in your presence
Regards to Her Majesty that dwell in excellence
