Out To Lunch
If you’re ever bored with nothing to do
Have lunch with me so I can get over you
So I can stop believing, stop hoping
See my wild fantasies as only joking
Slight smile and searching eyes
So deep, so sad, so blue
Are you bored by the infatuations
Taken higher by appreciation
You nonchalantly put your arm around me
Your hand on my waist
A taste of desire, an explosion of fire
But nothing to you as you move on through
Leaving the feel of being in your arms
So gentle, so strong, so beautiful, so unaware of your charms
Easy smile but not in your eyes
Like jewels hidden deep inside
Laughter escapes beautiful lips
As further into fantasy I slip
Life of the party, full of fun
Is it real or just a way to outrun
The demons we find in the silence of mind
But there’s no escape
From the reality that will make or break
The fantasies we create
A poet I see held harshly in the hands of the world
Protected by walls with no doors and secrets untold
Are you seeking, are you waiting
Am I dreaming, make-believing
Does love lift the sadness from your eyes
Or is it just heartache in disguise
It can’t be love when you’re someone I know nothing of
But so sexy, so beautiful, I can taste you in my mind
Luscious imaging on the tip of my tongue
Heartfelt flavours tainted by lust
Feelings regrettably worthy of mistrust
You see I’m too old, too wise for silly obsessions
It’s just a moments indiscretion
Forgive my momentary lapse in sanity
And entertain my curiosity
How did you get here
Amidst the feelings I long for and fear
Do you pity me as I do those who hold me in fantasy
So if the wind blows this invitation to mind
Share with me a glass of wine
By your grace, just a moment of your time
Not to win your heart but to see you with an open mind
So fantasies can be ripped apart leaving realities to find
Perhaps silly and childish
When the stars fall I make a wish
So meet me between Venus and Mars
Longing to be caressed in your arms
But I’m not that kind of girl
It’s sacred, It’s beautiful
It opens me up to feel
Allows me to lose myself
Believe it’s all real
But I’ll walk away
Even with every part of my body screaming to stay
‘Cause I’m not that kind of girl
So expectations put aside
No-one to impress and nothing to hide
Intrigued by my feelings for you
So out of character, so out of control
Out of my depth, out of the blue
Curiosity making me bold
Dine with me, let me unravel and unwind
These desires for you that plague my mind
Just creations of mine
That cross the great divide
Between fantasy and reality
Our meeting still sleeping in the deep ravine of make-believe
Left not in slumber for time to drag under
But awaken the words that hold a story yet told
Of the day you dined with me
If you’re ever bored with nothing to do
Have lunch with me so I can get over you
So I can stop believing, stop hoping
See my wild fantasies as only joking
Slight smile and searching eyes
So deep, so sad, so blue
