Extravagant Love

Why do they come to call Those men who lack in passion Why do they bother at all If their blazing fire be rationed So piercing so radiant The fumbling for words An intimate clumsy rhythm Lyrics sweet melody unheard Captivate my heart with exaggerated life Like a summer wind playing in my hair Sunlight dancing in your eyes ever bright Monotony oh mediocrity please forebear Love me with extravagance Not dreary sunless hues Fill your praise with eloquence My famished femininity perused Must I plead for security If I fall to worship at your sight Do not evoke my immunity The mystery of me begs to ignite Embrace my pain Soothe my soul Your longings I'll claim No thing shall I withhold Bid me not my heart surrender If by time my countenance shall fall For a lie is still a lie though delivered tender While dreams denied the living a nightmare to all
