Love's Philosophy
by Percy Shelley (1792-1822)
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by law divine
In one another's being mingle;--
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?
Multiplicity
by Marc Devon Copeland (my boyfriend... yeah baby)
Deep in the forests of my mind
Where illusion meets reality
There is a truth I cannot hide
Why the duplicity of your personality
Lovely and sweet
Coarse and mean
To candy a treat
To nightmares a dream
One moment pleasure
The next pain
To my mind a treasure
To my firey heart, rain
I look forward to our time alone
While you prefer public, for all to see
I laugh when I hear your stomach moan
I cry when you choose cheesecake over me
On occasion I feel ecstasy
Sometimes I feel the dread
Joy when you're next to me
Refusing intimate time is like a kick in the head
My Darker Side
by Marc Devon Copeland (*sigh...)
Angel from the eastern shore
Asian girl whom I adore
New territory for man to explore
You say no yet I implore
Why the inhibitions?
Always having conditions
Stalling my ambitions
The fault of religions?
Never do we go on dates
Always dealing with time constraints
Nothing but complaints
Why do you place such restraints?
I never mean to hurt you
But patience is not my virtue
I go down to please you
Is touching not what you want me to do?
How many times have I tried?
Unfortunately I am always denied
Sadness is the face in which I hide
Until you allow me the honor of going inside
Though you show me little affection
None-the-less you are my possession
It's hard to hold back my obsession
As a man I demand faster progression
One month seems an eternity
A constant fire burning inside of me
They say the best things in life are free
But it seems I have to buy your intimacy
Can these mixed emotions be real?
It seems we can't express how we feel
Time alone with you I have to steal
To go all the way, with the Devil I have to deal!
