Stay

The voice of my eyes
Speaks silent words
A language to be heard
What does it say?
Oh baby, it’s telling you
Telling you to stay

The voice of my heart
Thundering through my chest
As your head lies on my breast
Oh baby, what does it say?
It’s telling you
Telling you to stay

The voice of my body
These words my arms speak
As I melt and go weak
In the heat of your night
In the cool of your day
What, oh what does it say?
Baby, oh baby
It’s begging you, 
Asking you 
It’s telling you to stay
Stay…

Let your doubts stop turning
Give in to this burning
Forget what’s wrong or right
And stay with me tonight
Stay just a little longer
You’ll leave a little stronger
Stay inside my fantasy
And feed on my ecstasy
Be naked heart and soul
Lose control and be made whole
Let caged desires free
Let wantonness just...BE
Oh taste and touch and feel,
Every wish in me come real

Oh baby, what do you say?
Let the world just melt away
To your paradise, I'm the way
Oh baby...right now...TODAY

        Just
      PLEASE
~*~ STAY ~*~

Another top 7 rating for you, Eileen! Not just for an excellent and passionate write, but also for a reversal in roles. Usually I meet the authoress pleading for assurance...this time she is the reassuring one. [Manassian is very poetic-sounding] // paul

Thanks, Tim....Is there more to life than passion? Passion is more than just sexual fulfillment....There is passion for LIFE...for BEAUTY...and LOVE.

Yes....it's a long story. My Mama believed in my writing abilities. She wanted me to sign my maiden name on anything I write. In honor of her memory, and also to show my Armenian roots...I'm using my maiden name now. If it is like syrup...all the better. Thanks for your effusive praise.
