Resist

May 2003


I’m amazed how she gently moves me,

How she knows instinctively,

Where I am, and where I should be.

But in her arms - that’s just a dream.


Oh, how can I stay in my place,

Resist those eyes, those lips, that face.

And when I glimpse her smile at me,

I bite my lip and let it be.


Reminding me of where I stand

A diamond band defends her hand.

A younger man, both broad and tanned,

has claimed her lover’s  soul.  Damn!


Oh, how can I stay in my place,

Resist those eyes, those lips, that face.

And when I glimpse her smile at me,

I bite my lip and let it be.


I’d like to help her if she fell

but I can’t catch those stars so well.

So I’ll stay her and watch her shine,

Imagining if she were mine.


But I must stay in my place,

Resist those eyes, those lips, that face.

And when I glimpse her smile at me,

I bite my lip and let it be.
