"Sweet Desires"

©1996 Shawn Kendrick Hall

ah, but for desire
and therein you find the key
theres nothing worthy higher
nor innocence for she
and yes i know i love her
and its more than what she looks
but my body tells me other
and keeps me weakly hooked
my palms they sweat, and clammy
my heart it beats so swift
and there she is the lady
that doesn't know i exist
but sweet it is to see her
and sweeter yet to speak
and how sweet would be to touch her
if we danced there cheek to cheek
but alas it could not be
for i know what she desires
and i am lowly on that scale
and she is so much higher
i walk away yes lonely
and leave her to herself
and keep the dancing memories
in my mind, all to myself
