Intriguingly, there is nothing to shield

A feeling of fear run through me

Come Up and See Me Some Time.

Outside my kitchen window, concealed by drapes, hangs a bird feeder.

Come up here my pretty
And you will see 
The monster will not be the death of thee
I need some water and I need it now
Come up here my pretty

Said the elderly gentleman to his Wife

Drink up Love it's time to leave

As something is stirring

Prepare yourself

Let's go home and make boring Love
