WE NEVER MADE IT TO SHORE

We never made it to shore

So we sail on oceans of memories 

And fantasies of "could be's"

Young and tender like a jelly fish 

She said love made her feverish 

Complicated her english 

Made her speak plain gibberish 

Heart pure as gold, by worldliness un-tinted

T-shirt on her paleness said 

"I used to be snow white, but I drifted"

Her heart found mine 

While mine was still searching 

Love cut me through with the precision of a surgeon 

I lost my feet but found words deep to mention 

So we just hugged, no kiss, too scared of love's infection

Love at first sight 

Ached on the first bite 

Failed on the first date 

Too shy, so I passed her a bait 

Apple candy cake 

Made her heart quake 

I remember now with better sweet tears 

First kiss set us up for an epic heart break


We gave love our all 

But too young to understand 

This boat was bigger than us 

But forever was our plan 

Secret hiding places 

Telepathy was born by idle guesses 

That smile was my addiction 

An itch pure without temptation 

Touch came later, an experiment on feelings and depth 

Sweet but the surface was stronger than meth


I was addicted to your ears, your mind 

Hooked on your lips, your words 

You gave keys to my rhymes 

Rhythm to romance 

Believe to my ability 

Faith to my existence 

Flood my dreams with smiles 

From a distance away; million miles 

I felt you, still do Stronger than love, 

African voodoo 

Interrupted by reality 

I miss your type of sensual sanity

We never got to shore 

So we sail on oceans of memories 

And fantasies of "could be's" 

While my ship drifts further 

My heart still calls out to thee
