Religion I Am So Bored

Afternoons dull
mornings duller
duller than the night before
bored by the day and the night 
seldom gay was I
and I was bored 
so bored

Then came your eyes compelling me
suddenly colour 
I suddenly see monotony will no longer be more
telling me something so wild
on your lips lay such adventure 
lightning flashed when you smiled
so smile now wake the fires that sleep in me
make them relief in me with your kiss 

And whatever it is 
whatever it is 
I won’t be bored 
not bored
bedazzled yes bewildered yes
and breathless but not bored
