recitation

you came to me this morning and you handled me like meat. you'd have to be a man to know how good that feels

how sweet. my mirrored twin

my next of kin

i'd know you in my sleep and who but you would take me in

a thousand kisses deep. i loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat

you see i'm just another snowman standing in the rain and sleet

who loved you with his frozen love

his second hand physique

with all he is

and all he was

a thousand kisses deep. i know you had to lie to me

i know you had to cheat

to pose all hot and high behind the veils of shear deceit

our perfect porn aristocrat so elegant and cheap

i'm old but i'm still into that

a thousand kisses deep. i'm good at love

i'm good at hate

it' s in between i freeze. been working out

but its too late

it's been to late for years. but you look good

you really do

they love you on the street. if you were here i'd kneel for you

a thousand kisses deep. the autumn moved across your skin

got something in my eye

a light that doesn't need to live

and doesn't need to die. a riddle in the book of love

obscure and obsolete

till witnessed here in time and blood

a thousand kisses deep. and i'm still working with the wine

still dancing cheek to cheek

the band is playing auld lang syne

but the heart will not retreat. i ran with diz and i sang with ray

i never had their sweep

but once or twice they let me play

a thousand kisses deep. i loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat

you see

i'm just another snowman standing in the rain and sleet

who loved you with his frozen love

his second hand physique

with all he is

and all he was

a thousand kisses deep. but you don't need to hear me now

and every word i speak

it counts against me anyhow

a thousand kisses deep.
