Then There Was You

Sea weed helter skelter hair
A thousand Methuselah follicles
Radiating in oracle
I shouldn't look
I shouldn't risk voyeur's vice
My veins are hardening
My body is permafrost

I am horrified
I had heard the mythology
I'm alive in the stone
All for the want of a woman
Why is this happening
Why is my mind still alive
All I did was desire

Her delicacy
The ecstasy of her softness
Is not for you old man
You know you shouldn't
Have desired
That kind of happiness
Is not on your plate
