Never Needing More
I can hear your demons screaming
And I know you're hearing mine
Times changed you just a little
Now your beauty's more sublime
Sat here waiting for a reason
To be sitting here at all
Just about to leave
I smell your perfume in the hall
It's that old familiar feeling
From a time, when times were leaner
That Ruby dress to hug you tight
To show your cool demeanour
You sidle up beside me
Like things have never changed
Your image in the mirror
Hints a Faustian exchange
"The usual!", whispered softly
Your breath invades my space
"Whiskey, on the Rocks!" I call
A smile lights up your face
The ether closes 'round us
The world can guess our goal
Your high it matches mine
Its impression on our souls
I smell your scent, above your perfume
I know that you've been rushing
A meeting made in haste
Your Devils must be blushing
I didn't want to come here
But I never needed more
Your burning eyes upon my soul
Your heat upon my core
The heart is easily winning
It's like time itself, stands still
Our heads so lost and spinning
It's a jagged little pill
A fuse to light the night
A spark to light the flame
So lost in loves illusion
With you whispering my name
The way you wear your hair for me
It's made my perfect day
The secrets of the universe
Are but fingertips away
The waiting's but a passage
Worth its weight, for what we've earned
A passion running higher
Than the light of darkness burned
This moment's been a lifetime coming
All in this world is right
Sleeping's not an option
If our time elapsed tonight
We teeter on the brink
Of the open universe
To get it wrong, then right again
We'll endlessly rehearse
Our union made eternal
Our memory is shared
Your every passion magnified
Your soul laid raw and bare
I feel you, where I've seen before
My visions been replaced
A 'knowing' you, replaces it
My drink of you's been laced
