The Thespian:
I want to forget about the day
And get lost laughing
Find myself falling
Landing on the couch with you
I want to take a road trip
Tracing the curves of your face
Study the signs
While searching your eyes
I want that drunk love
That sobering commitment
I'm in no need of a teaser
God forbid a trailer
I'd give anything to skip the premiere
As long as you're my feature
And we're not an act
Bright Lights:
I don't want lights
or a catwalk
The lights are blinding
I fear that I may fall from the heights
I want to keep your beauty in my sights
I want to drink in those drunk words
And listen to those sober thoughts
I'm not content
But I don't want to dream
Laying next to anyone else
That's the kind of lie I can sleep with
I want to settle down
With a life made up
And a creation standing with me
Bathed in the River Styx
Cocaine:
I want a love so pure
That it deviates my septum
I want a love that gets me lifted
And keeps me high
Dilating my pupils
So I can take in the most
And not miss a moment
I want a fire that dares turn me ash
I have no reason to be trusted with these flames
Ever seen a burning sugar cane field?
The smell of that smoke is what I want
I want a potency
That fades opinions to not
That silences the crowds
And creates focus
A Complement:
I want a simple life
With a complex soul
I want a mind
That captivates this sapiosexual
Beyond mere looks
Holding my interests
Beyond my vision
I don’t want to give away my name
I want a partner
An equal
An anomaly
I want an east
To meet my west
I want a royal
A dynasty
The Raft:
I want an anchor for my sight
An embrace when I fear touch
I want a compass
That creates amnesia
Having me forget I was wandering
Has me at home when I’m away
I want a touch
That make my hands
Feel unfamiliar
At the end of my wrist
I want stubbornness
To match my own
To know that we stand a chance
And that you might stay
Until time ceases
The Titan Kronos:
I want time
I want you
I want eternity
Wrapped in a mind and a will
Moving slowly
Wrapped up
In my arms
I want my hands to move slowly
While holding your face
As if my digits are the blades of a still
And can manipulate time
I want more than I can manage
Because souls weren’t made to be ordered
I want a rebel
And I want you to be my cause
A DYNASTY:
I want a fight
I want the great sands of egypt
I want to build something
To give rise to envy
In the mind of King Tut
Have him forget he was a Pharaoh
I want someone to challenge
Making me be better
And someone I ask
Why not?
When the dust settles
The world’s perspective is just upside down
The competition and hunger
Keep the dust
In an uproar
The Storm:
I want the flood
I want to drown in our story
I want a myth
Molded in flesh
With a touch of immortality
But of the people
I want the cocaine
To numb the pain
Something to keep me running
Back like I forgot something
I want the perfect Storm
An authentic Halle Berry
Not some stunt double
But the actual lightning
That leaves me struck
The Proposal:
I want to settle
With you
