When I hear your voice it carries me
Back to a place I call honesty.
Leaving it open for all to see
Hoping they might find its necessity.

When I hear your words I'm inspired
To be the simple man I'm designed to be.
Finding beauty, not yet expired
Letting it flourish, bathed in simplicity.

When I feel the meaning of what you say
It strengthens My Seasoned Heart.
Thankful for companionship along the way
Back to the basics another chance to start.

When I feel the beauty your song implies
I want to hold her in my arms so strong.
As we look into each others eyes
And know we're both where we belong.

Those eyes haven't yet been seen by me
Though my eyes have seen so much.
But I'm not looking for a fantasy
Just honesty, Desire, and touch.

To love, and uplift, to carry her as she goes,
And watch as her Desires, carry her on her own.
Amazed as her beauty naturally flows,
Knowing she's wanted, all the love I've shown.

This is how some songs affect me
I must admit, I have this notion.
When love is nurtured properly,
It's like being, poetry in motion.

You can't spoil a good woman,
You can only pamper her!
