Paradise

We all need to take a break from our lives.

~ Escape to Paradise. ~

I sit there sipping my coffee, trying to catch your eye. 

We're both holding the same Eiffel trinket - a common ground. 

Who are you? I want to know you and make you mine. 

You take off your hat, coat and place your briefcase down. 

It started out as a business trip, but it's all pleasure now. 

Open up to me as we sit together in this cafe,

Before we have to take our flight tomorrow back to our lives. 

You study me through bottles of rum, but leave your thoughts at bay. 

Who am I? We're both bodies, just slaves to time. 

I'm so glad you found me at this Paradise. 

You're my mystery man, who I'm not sure I can trust. 

So, I wear my heart shaped sunglasses and let you take my hand. 

You notice my little old ring is beginning to turn to rust,

But we won't talk about that because he's in another land. 

Who are we? Does fate forbid this love to stand?

When you're gone, all I'll have is the cotton of this new red dress. 

You'll take with you your memories. I'll take the sacrifice. 

And all I'll be is another trinket you collect. 

Put me in your mantle so you'll remember the heist. 

Aren't you glad we met just once in this Paradise?

Satisfaction

Nothing is ever as it seems, until you close your eyes.

~ Open your mind. ~

Sitting in a dark cold room this time again,

Living life like it’s gone off the 

edge.

Lonely minds make wandering eyes.

There’s only so long to play pretend.

The door is shut but it’s still o p e n,

Just look at light in another focus.

Tainted sighs make pretty lies.

They’re too naive to even notice.

Step it up now, won’t have too long,

But don’t ever believe it could be wrong,

Rule breakers make heart takers.

At least the loneliness is gone.

Don’t come too near in fear,

Someone may see it far too CLEAR.

Risk takers make love fakers.

As long as it looks sincere.

Go now and find another distraction,

But remember this forbidden attraction.

Nosey others break crossed lovers.
The day we finally found satisfaction.
