I want to write a poem,
where heaven lifts its seal
upon this world, and grafts
new visions onto your eyes

I want to write a poem
where beneath a gaping
hole the ocean beckons soft
and falling is a pleasure

I want to write a poem
where hearts aren?t cast in
shades of gray, but throb
delicate in red and orange

I want to write a poem
where frozen waterfalls
melt in spring and lilacs
glimmer moist in rays of light

I want to write a poem
for you...

With this poem, the net is loose - there is a form, and I move around a general syllabic structure - the lines in the first and fourth stanzas each have the same amount of syllables, and the last lines of each main stanza have seven syllables, but I fudge it a little in the second and third stanzas, so it's not strict verse...

maybe next time for you
I'll write in stricter form

This goes out to the ladies of ATOT (the few that are out there)

Turn off the lights and light a candle
Tonight I?m in a romantic mood? yeah

Let?s take a shower, shower together, yeah
I?ll wash your body and you?ll wash mine, yeah
Rub me down in some hot oils baby, yeah
And I?ll do the same thing to you

Just turn off the lights, come to me
Girl I wanna give you a special treat, you?re so sweet
Turn off the lights and let?s get cozy
See you?re the only one in the world that I need

I wanna love you, love you all over, yeah
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
Whisper sweet words of love in your ear
Show you I much I missed you, missed you, my dear

Turn 'em off and come to me
Tonight I?m in a sexy mood, baby
And light a candle
Girl, there?s something that I, I wanna do to you, I wanna do, I wanna do to you, baby

Would you mind if I asked you to
Would you rub me down
Would you rub me down in some, in some burnin hot oils baby, yeah
I swear I can do the same thing, the same thing to you, baby

Turn 'em off and let?s get cozy
I wanna give you a special treat, you?ve been so sweet
Turn 'em off and come closer
You?re the only one in this whole wide world that I?d ever need

Turn 'em off and light a candle
You see there?s somethin' I, somethin' I, somethin? I, somethin? I
Somethin? I wanna do to you baby

I?m lyin? here waitin? my dear
You can get what you want any time you want it
I?m lyin? here waitin? my dear
Come get what you need, give me what I need

Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do babe
Tell me what you wanna do ?Yeah?
Tell me what you wanna do babe ?Yes?

Tell me what you wanna do... (I?ve got somethin? in my mind)
Tell me what you wanna do? babe
Somethin? that I?ve been wantin? to do all the time.. yeah, yes
Tell me what you wanna do... (I wanna give you a special treat)
Tell me what you wanna do? babe... (Cause you?ve been so swee? yeah yes)

Anything that you want? anything that you need, I got it, I got it,
Tell me what you wanna do ?I can do it?
Tell me what you wanna do babe (I?m willin')
Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do babe (I?m willin? to try?on't want to be right.)
