Something About Medusa

Something About Medusa by Kenny Davis

 

I don't know how to explain it

I've caught feelings for Medusa

She's shown and taught me many things

Experiences I am not used to

 

She can turn me to stone

Then I can always be there when she needs me

Then when she is ready for me to love her in return

Maybe then and only then she'll be compelled to release me

 

I can get lost in her eyes

If it meant being trapped in her gaze

Blessed to have her as my lasting vision

To bask in her beauty for the rest of my days

 

My desire, my love for her

To be forever encased in this stone like prison

I would love nothing more, if she is to be my future

More than a woman I could ever dream of, or furthermore, ever envision

 

If I am to hold such a love for her inside

Deep in my catatonic, stone like state

Means of a future to hold her close and true in my arms

Then, encased in stone, am I forever willing to wait

 

If this is to be my position in her life

My soul forever forced into a deep sleep

Then may I be blessed to have on last vision of her

Forever, to hold her, in my dreams

 

Though the power of this woman may be the cause

Of this vessel of mine being hardened

May she always have a special place for me

Close to her heart, in her secret garden.

 

Held deep inside, I'll always know

Why this beauty chose to take these old bones

And chose to take my love for her and encase them in stone

Because I'll always be where she needs me, by her side, to never be left alone
