What I Really Want

What I really want, my dear
as we celebrate Valentine's Day this year
is not a box of chocolate wealth
but for you and me, the best of health

a package of happiness wrapped in ribbons of gold
with a potion to keep us from looking old
a cure for the aches of middle age
and a broom to sweep away cobwebs of rage

I want to be pretty and healthy and young
with words of love loosed from your tongue
admiration in your every glance
I'd like to fit into my size four pants

And I hope that you can find somewhere
for me, some naturally curly hair

And of course, you should have it! At least in your spirit.

barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows

Lyra darling girl, you know I’m going to say this is good, okay it’s much better than good, okay yes darling girl it’s excellent.

As for you needing a potion to keep you young and full of love you are, so you don’t need it. You know this has to be one of your utter best don’t you? Well, darling girl it is and I love it utterly


Love and warm stuff
