august

i am a master of contradiction
ready to jolt any time
but craving a kiss
of a man without cause.

i love those around me
as i love myself
which i learned
it took learning.

on a day like this
my soul dances
with the soul of the sun
with that of the baby that cries.

coming from italy
the reds are redder
the blues bluer
and life always a hoot.

give me a smile
or i’ll steal it from you
and leave you with more
where that came from.

let’s go out for the weekend
let’s worship the light
let’s bristle with passion
come back to the kiss.

i see you smiling
when you see me smiling
love needs no more.
