Stay Close
Stay Close
Lovers stay close in warm cuddle,
Share a wet kiss from love's puddle.
Never tear gazes from yourselves,
Stay intact like books on the shelves.
For men like me taste loneliness,
And are consumed by its sheer stress.
Hold her close while she still sees you;
And stay in touch like fingerprints.
For soon woes and foes would blast through,
Till she would be yanked from your wings.
And in the jail of grave despair,
She would need memories to cheer.
Darling, let your man feel your touch,
Let it light him up like a torch.
For when the clouds would shroud his brain,
Your rains of love would keep him sane.
So stay close to all that you love,
For soon, you both would soar above.
