THE MOST PERFECT WOMAN

 

If I could make

The perfect wife

To keep with me

All of my life

 

If I was able to

Build the perfect one

I would chose Charlie’s legs

And Brenda’s bum

Laura’s breasts

And Eliza’s back 

Annie’s arms

And Connie’s neck

Jenny’s hands

And Sarah’s toes

Cassie’s ears

And Karen’s nose

Maureen’s mouth

And Stephanie’s grin

Doreen’s hair

And Patricia’s skin

Charlotte’s voice

And Debbie’s eyes

Joanne’s teeth

And Susan’s thighs

Emma’s grace

And Christine’s hips

Diane’s heart

And Penny’s lips

 

If this was something

That I could do

She would still not

Be as good as you

MIX AND MATCH

 

If only you could mix and match

To build the perfect girl

It would be great fun

I think I’ll give it a whirl

 

Bits may be out of proportion

She may look odd I guess

But she will only have eyes for me

And she will only answer yes

BENEATH THE MOONLIT SKY

Beneath the moonlit sky

I looked at a star and wished

Then later that moonlit night

Beneath the moon we kissed 

WITH MY PETTY JEALOUSY

 

Sibilant whisperings

Greeted me

For it was I

Who stole their glee

 

The gathering

Looked upon me

As the architect

Of their misery

 

They could barely

Keep their hate inside

At this wedding

Without a bride

 

It was all my doing

With my petty jealousy

And with it in me

I had made her flee

LIVING ON THE DEFENSIVE

 

She told me that she loved me

And I didn't know how to react

I’m afraid to say I love her

I want to keep my heart intact

Is it time to let down my guard?

Should I tell her how I feel?

What if she is false or insincere

My heart may never heal

Should I expose my feelings?

Even though I feel insecure

But if I keep my feelings secret

Or wait until I am certain sure

I risk undermining her love

Blemishing it at its very start

And I could lose her love forever

And that would break my heart

LOVE STRUCK

 

It feels like only yesterday

That you first came in to view

And the world seemed to stand still

As I looked at you

It seems like only yesterday

That cupids arrow took flight

And struck me through the heart

And it was love at first sight

LIVING IN THE SHADOWS

 

I finally looked into the shadows

And saw where you live

Because I’ve reached the end

I have no more to give

 

I really loved you

And I thought you loved me

But it wasn’t love

That you wanted from me

 

You wanted control, of

My every thought and deed

You brow beat me and bullied

Until you got me to conceed

 

You've always been there

Behind my tears

Belittleing and undermining

Feeding off my fears

 

Deprecating me, correcting me

Telling me I’m wrong

Bleeding me until I am weak

Making yourself strong

 

But all those empty years

I just couldn’t see

I was blind to just how bad

You really were for me

 

But now my eyes are open

And I see the man within

Those dark days are behind me

And my new life can begin
