Coaxed

There once lived a soul whose ears

Lived nothing but open years

I still can't read your lips like I coaxed

That beast who makes love to me

Keep me from holes that I could fall into soon,

The jade servant spits the moon

From stories as high as you

I took the two into town

Because I thought I'd be found

With strips of weariness in my raving heart,

No matter how tired

I nearly kissed my will power out the door,

And you wouldn't expect more

If I were to tell you so

You could be too young for that

And why I thought I could stand

With fields of fog around my neck and knees,

I have no beliefs

I can't recall the last time I talked to you

And certain things that excite, won't keep me from anyone
