I met a woman from another time
   I couldn’t think
   But a drink from her eyes
   Was like water to wine
   She wet my dreams with her distinctive mind
   I search the desert for a treasure
   And a measure of life denied
   I’m driven by cars and guitars and her voice
   Ripping up and down my spine
   And now I’m giving my life for her sight
  
   To be mine
   And in her presence
   My fate unwinds
   For when her essence
   Draws me too near
   I can taste her with tears
   On my tongue
   Like the sun
   In my mouth.
  
   I met a man who kicked my front door down
   He blew in with the Santa Ana winds
   And a half cocked hound
   He fits my body like a one horse town
   And I was drunk like a vagabond on his street
   And I lay face down
   And I rode his joy like a child on a merry-go-round
   I was young in his eyes
   I was sweet on his thighs
   I was profound
   I was shot like a free bird in flight
   To the ground.
  
   I woke this morning from a deadly dream
   He was my lover he was my filler
   He was my chocolate-colored killer
   He was me
   I’m built to run
   My will is to deceive
   But you penetrate severely
   I am walking insecurely
   On my knees
   And I will wait through Winter, Spring and Summer
   If you’ll Fall in love with me
   I will dance so slowly
   You will hardly know I
   Breathe
   From Rome
   To Madrid
   To Paris
  
   On the breeze
   My scent will find you
   Lost by degrees
   From time to time you’ll
   Sing
   With my lips
   Or my hands
   On your hips
   Or my tongue
   Like the sun
   In your mouth
