Extravagant Love

Why do they come to call
Those men who lack in passion
Why do they bother at all
If their blazing fire be rationed

So piercing so radiant
The fumbling for words
An intimate clumsy rhythm
Lyrics sweet melody unheard 

Captivate my heart with exaggerated life
Like a summer wind playing in my hair
Sunlight dancing in your eyes ever bright
Monotony oh mediocrity please forebear

Love me with extravagance
Not dreary sunless hues
Fill your praise with eloquence
My famished femininity perused 

Must I plead for security
If I fall to worship at your sight
Do not evoke my immunity
The mystery of me begs to ignite

Embrace my pain 
Soothe my soul
Your longings I'll claim
No thing shall I withhold

Bid me not my heart surrender
If by time my countenance shall fall
For a lie is still a lie though delivered tender
While dreams denied the living a nightmare to all
