You are a beautiful woman in a room of candles, br The aroma of jasmine drifts from the terrace, br I’ll sleep with you beneath the stars br And I’ll unlatch the shoes from your feet, br There is no place upon your small body br I would ever consider too undignified to kiss. br br Loneliness has been the dark lens br Coloring your perceptions, br You have left your prayers unspoken br In loveless childhood sanctuaries br Violated by the cruel br Who taught you through violence and abuse br You can only trust yourself. br br It is understood, I can’t keep you, br You have no desire for a second husband, br Even the most pleasing lovers can become brutes, br But for now I will romance your mind br And learn to delicately touch your mouth, br And you will remember me later br When we are both lost again in separate jungles.
