Because we are a people of pleasure,
eccentric with our instincts,
enlightened by bestial verves,
we invent our own mad meadows
oblige to the fresh--carnal tomes
oblivious to who is at home:
The ocean of skin we find peace in,
the perfections we have sought,
calm of blue-green-hazel eyes
the silence of his tandem touch
he is the moment that you crave
when the ravenous world is too much...
Because we are a people of the hunt,
careless and cruel with our loves
we are quick and hasty to give in
the "new" is our favored food
movement, our gypsy glory
always hungry for a wilder story:
The fluid flush of the forbidden
becomes our heightened hit,
while his ocean and shores are forgotten
and morbid is this motley kiss
love is spoken quaintly
faintly (even) close to the truth
because we are a people of pleasure
lust is all that soothes...
