o mistress of mind where are you going? <br />stay and be with me, i am truth yearning <br />sing me what is desiring <br />go no farther, be sweet let 's pet <br />kiss my lips in this lovers' tryst <br />you must be wise enough to know <br /> <br />tell me what is love? what is lust? <br />it is not out there, it is here. <br />present pushes, real pulls <br />what is out there is still not sure <br />hugs delayed is love denied <br />come and kiss me, make love to me <br />sweet and severe, soft and tender <br />this we must this time endure. <br /> <br />A youth, a low boat, a bay lot. <br />Oh ten kisses, let us sing the key note.<br /><br />RIC S.
