Gently Now, Gently
Thinking of you in crimson dawn rising
Voice of fervid night keeps calling me
Naming the lady of my fabulous dreams
Meet me I say, gleaming amber glory
Start right there, where you left me
Whispering to beats of sensuous feelings
Listen to words waltzing verses of lyrics
Pulsing cadence of your heart’s music
Letting the chorus of smitten souls sing
Pleasing our tunes of euphoric melodies
As you dazzle me like glamorous painting
Upon the canvas of my sensual gallery
I hear you saying, “don’t try to rush me
Read me like a magical script of fantasy
Gently now, gently, unfold me softly
Kiss me like you love me, kiss me fervently
Gently now, gently, unwrap me slowly
Blossoming in bosom of love’s ecstasy”
Let my desires bloom in your spring
Thriving like pink lilies, doting zestfully
Whirling like nectar in fragrant ruby winds
Luring the tempo of butterfly wings
Arousing titillation of seductive reverie
Blushing my face in rhapsodic revelry
When you hear the sigh of surrender
Subjugating me in embrace of your zeal
Winning plea of my zealous appeal
Ready I’ll be love, to write my story
Upon the pages of your life’s allegory
Revealing secrets of romantic odyssey
I hear you saying, “don’t try to rush me
Read me like a magical script of fantasy
Gently now, gently, unfold me softly
Kiss me like you love me, kiss me fervently
Gently now, gently, unwrap me slowly
Blossoming in bosom of love’s ecstasy”
Gently now, gently, unfold me softly
Gently now, gently, kiss me fervently
Gently now, gently… gently now, gently…
