you were a young and beautiful boy
ripe enough to seek and destroy
i was mute and hideous
but then again, so were the two of us
i thought i caught you staring
like god herself was daring
though i was meek and morose
after you left i was all but engrossed
but in my dreams i taste your peaches and cream
i see you still in the sunshine and gleam
and all the sweet things that i would know
had i left myself in your glow
i'll find you again in other men
different skin, same want and bent
i'll feel the singe where longing lies
and i'll look upon them with clear watery eyes
