Thunder and Tide I want you to love me To lay me to ruin on golden shores Where the sun has me drunk on the curves of you While I wait for a sign Do I hesitate and fall in line? Behind the rapture of your smile Snared on the laughter you incite Where the bluest eyes hold me hostage On sands that caress the beauty of you I wait For you to light up Those explosions in your synapses to fire just for me All the signs are there #life abundant but without a care As we sway under the sun and moon Laugh at nothing until our souls bloom But still I wait for that extra fire That exclusive desire To engulf me To saturate me in your arms At the mercy of your charms How I fall prey to the subtlety of your character The way you move Your infectious laugh The delicate way you hold your drink The thoughts that unravel from the way that you think The electricity that conjures when we collide More refined than thunder and tide I want you to love me So please do... © Richard Withey.
