Free Cee To Borrow a Body's Beauty
TO BORROW A BODY’S BEAUTY
I want the lady so, but no, not to keep
Just to embrace her with devotion bared so very deep
I want the lady but not forever for me to hold
Because forever sometimes can become so bitterly and bitingly cold
Forever is a promise seldom if ever fulfilled
When forever’s death, by tomorrow, is skillfully and willfully willed
Some souls seek forever in their own special way
While I yearn for the lady to be mine but for just one sparkly day
After that destiny’s voice will clearly and thus be heard
And I, not foolish enough to believe in forever, will heed every sacred word
Wine leads to women who too often lead me to woe
Yet and still I ask the barman to let the Cabernet flow
Her laughter is a lure and her smile is a snare
Her flourish is finesse finalized with such flair
To own her is and never will be my desire
Because to hold her today might set tomorrow afire
Other men might want to possess her for the rest of their breathing days
But they are all men who believe forever isn’t just a fleeting phase
As for me all I want is a slim slice of the lady’s years
And the death of another “forever” without any tears
