Sometimes, it's not
the person you miss.
But the feeling
and the moment you had
When you were with them.
Your life is not yours
If you always care
Help those who needs you
Try to persuade others
To think and do good.
Persuade To Have Beautiful Home Made
What we wanted to do was persuade,
To have beautiful home being made;
Not ignored,
And adored
In succulent shade near a pretty glade.
Jim Horn
The way you moving to the beat is crazy
Teach me how to persuade the opposite sex the way you persuade me
Spotted you from across the room movements on point and when you made it bounce to the beat
Almost went crazy the way you moving that body got me in a state of amazement
You must be unique because the way you moving that body I've never seen before
But I want pretend that I don't wanna see it again
Body movements crazy the way she make it bounce to the beat
Can I ask you a question can you teach me how to persuade the opposite sex
The way you persuade me
Distorted open wings jolt with fresh memories solve the mystery and the curse
comes back to me, does the punishment fit the crime it fails in comparison and
falls to decadence. It moves beside you unseen and unphased as innocent
becomes clean. Silence simulated alliance gather around and listen to your
unchanging love song a simple dilemma relax in trance unsatisfied dreams
sway under hypnosis this is what it seems foot steps under a filthy sky we beg
the reasons why. Illuminated cryptic words spoken on solstice verge undenied
washed away with the coming tide it cries out to be known it crawls turning to
stone a thousand years trapped and scorn. Lusted and weak enchanted it
speaks with addiction it weeps savage it sleeps a masterpiece underneath black
we leave it at that.
Alas within me something stirs and proves
its worth. And once in form that I doth please,
from mind, I mouthe, spread word towards wind. it moves,
this living thought I cast upon the breeze.
My thought flow ends licking my pensive shores.
Though content changed and meaning torn, I await
your response - flaming words that will consume
my view, branding yours, blazing renewal.
This steam haze rising with our thought, a height
once beyond my reach. We share this learning
as the cloud grows. Wade cautiously into
my depths; unscathed I'll brave your embered soul.
My words now flashing waves of sparks, while yours
flicker to an ebb and flow. The thick mist
that once deemed blindness, mediated our
exchange - persuaded in our persuasion.
