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
