Wild Man's Song for a Lady
Open your eyes and kiss me twice.
Once for the distance crossed,
again for Eternity's sake.
Come hold me tightly and be mine,
beautiful child of the sublime.
Feel your tender breast upon my chest
so warmly pressed.
Feel my body tautly wrapping arms of love
around your shoulders.
I will by my tingling touch
awaken dreams nobody else knows.
Nobody else can feel me present as you do,
honey-eyed beauty.
I am the wild man whose unfettered
passion
pours for you,
Whose clear eyed primal strength
will lift you,
Whose touch will stir your womanly ways
and possess you;
For you were born for me
and your heart tells you.
Wander not the streets
and seek not strange love;
There is no match in any other man for you,
For you are a wild woman
of fiery desire like mine,
And unless my blazing torch touch you
you
will be cold.
Cast not your beautiful body
into
a lesser man's arms.
There is no other who can
like me
cherish your charms.
Upon your skin I did begin
a serenade just yesterday,
And I have yet to teach you
songs
I want to play.
No other woman can be your equal
now, Love.
You are my Aeolian harp
just like
Ulysses had his bow,
And I await your growing passion
with
manly patience,
For you will cry in dissatisfaction
until
I kiss you,
Until my hungry hands again
stroke you tenderly,
And my hot breath on your neck
makes you quiver in delight,
When I excite you and you
so sweetly evoke my kisses with
the passion your love loves to give me.
My hand is closer, take it now --
surrender, sweet lady!
