Resume

He's played in many dramas 
he's been in comedies
he's paid the price of karma
for careless rhapsodies.

He has tarried in the gardens 
where hot desire blooms
he's swam the pools within the mind
and lit some darkened rooms.

He has been known to occupy,
a consumer of your time
yet regardless of the time he spent
He’ll be a mystery left behind.

At first you think you know him, 
then he's someone else
He’s a walking contradiction,
that can magnify your pulse.

He'll clean you up he'll make a mess
then fill your heart with love
He’ll make you laugh he'll make you cry
if you push him he will shove.

Have you seen him as conceptual? 
do you see the angry man
do you see him circling in the ring
who will take you where you stand?

He'll lust you with intention,
He’ll love you with desire
He’ll give to you attention
Believe him he's no liar.

There could come a day,
When everything seems wrong
But when it all is said and done
you'll miss him when he’s gone.
