~Engage Me~

By A Velvet Tongue

Do you love me yet?
Has my smile warmed a place...inside of you
Has my mind enchanted your whimsy?
Have my eyes followed a sunset in your mind?

Do you know me yet?
Do i cry for babies i dont know and never will?
Do i anger when purity is robbed...without remorse?
Do i try...and make it all better?


Do you remain plagued in lies.
What about those half truths
What about ragged breaths …glazed souls
What of all the promised tomorrows?


do you think about me ?
when your alone...abandoned in silent reflection
when the last note is heard and the last light has flickered
when your hands run your flesh in the dark of night?

Do you need me?
Will I ever complete the circle
Will you ever remove the rust
Will you remain suspended in agonous continuum or lay content?

Do you crave me still?
This intellectual sensuality that bleeds marrow?
This spine that bows in pleasure and stiffens in grief
This woman who cant seem to shake the wonder that is You.

Do you?
