SPECULATIVE LOVER
A lot of ways to say ‘I love’
My heart is as pure as white dove
But I slip on my way to proclaim my intent
Though you have no idea what I have for us in my tent
My sudden heart pause brought the grove
My intent is to forever show you my love
One way is to hold you so tight
In my arms with your eyes before my sight
Frequently reflecting the love I have for you
Indicating that I will forever be there for you
The countless times you are on my mind
Hallucinates how beautifully we will love each other if you mind
I tried to point out one thing about you that makes me love you
But I failed because it is everything about you
When life is coming to an end, my friend,
you learn to treasure this godsend, my friend.
When death has come, you count every second
and every moment you can spend, my friend.
The ruthless death takes all that you hold dear:
your ladylove and your best friend, my friend,
your dog, your money, your unpaid invoices
and, surely, you but let's pretend, my friend,
that death is just a speculative concept
that we have yet to comprehend, my friend.
For the lost they lead
On the path set by their lord
For the oppressed they bleed
Modern masons marching forward
For the hungry they feed
Brave crusading knights
Templar invaders
Entrance through Masonic rites
European crusaders
Selfless attitude ignites
Fraternal in one accord
Brave crusading knights
On the path set by their lord
Constructing gothic sites
From the west marching forward
My space ship of a lamp shade,
This little cardboard room.
What genius exists here,
In the abscence of the moon?
