Staying In My Place

THIS IS AMERICA... YES, SON THIS IS AMERICA, WHERE YOU CAN DREAM YOUR DREAMS AND MAKE THEM COME TRUE. - NARA - 515779 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

During the day you can ignore me,

But I am there in the night when you cry out,

You dream of me and long for my warm embrace,

I melt into your softness and you’re mine without doubt,

 

You don’t ask for forgiveness,

But I’ll be with you tonight,

I’ll take what you give me,

And we’ll make love in the moonlight,

 

We’ll tease the passion that smolders within,

While the moon plays in her crystal pond,

My lips and fingers will dance across your skin,

And we’ll play, too, from our world beyond,

 

The stars we’ll count one by one,

With kisses to keep the score,

The numbers might be astronomical,

And should you beg for more,

 

I might stay a little longer,

If soft words are whispered in my ear,

Your dreams can keep me forever,

If you want me near,

 

Yet when daylight chases dreams away,

And we’re standing face to face,

I’m almost a stranger,

And you keep me in my place,

 

Why do you tempt me so when you walk by,

And keep me tied with a silken thread,

I dream of you even in the daylight,

Images of you dance in my head,

 

The two worlds must be kept apart,

Lying in each other’s arms the flames leap,

But that world is made of dreams,

And in the day we have secrets to keep,

 

I’m stuck in my cubicle,

While your empire continues to grow,

I’m only a lowly technician,

And you’re the powerful CEO,

 

It is too big a gulf to cross by day,

But at night when the lights go low,

Your dreams will call me,

And to your cold bed I will go,

 

Flesh will fuse with flesh,

Love will mingle with sweat,

And I will be caught in your silken web,

But with only one regret,

 

I’m living in a dream world I can’t share,

Just like the moon hanging in space,

We’re two worlds apart,

And I have to stay in my place.
