Thought I'd use some cliches & some new lines with a different sounding hook

I know it's time to play my hand,
Cause I'd love to be your man.
You're the Venus of my dreams
like a romance novel queen.
I see your beauty every way
in the sunshine or the rain.
You're on my mind day and night
You're my renaissance for life

Chorus:
But I can't say the things I feel
my tongue is tied my lips stay sealed
Gettin nowhere's where I am
like roller skating in deep sand.

How I'd love to stroke your skin
an excite your easy grin
like a gamble brings a rush
I'd like to win your gentle touch
Like new frosting soft and hot
You're sweet topping on my thoughts
Like a flower in the breeze
My heart is swayin round in me

Chorus:
Oh I'd like to say the things I feel
but my tongue is tied my lips stay sealed.
Gettin nowhere's where I am
like roller skating in deep sand.

Outro:
Can't get my tongue to move
I wish I could have you by my side
my lips are sealed can't get through
I wish you could undersatnd.......
It's like trying to skate in deep sand

Ain't doin nothin at all
Just answerin the call
Kinda driftin away from it all~~~~~

I am, apparently, "into" irony.



and yes, this fits:

"You're my renaissance for life"

That I could live with.

Lovely.

LOL, enjoyed the imagery of hot frosting, not to mention the futility of skating in deep sand.
Sounds a little like my life. Touched another chord here, ET.

Would love to hear this with the music..
Excellent write.

it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound

Eric

Puts me in mind of a few dreams I've had where I'm trying to get someplace but can't move.  Enjoyed the lyrical quality of your poetry, as always!

I like this one, it's different. It has a little bit of a twist to it.
