Last First-kiss

When we first kissed on that third date
something inside said you'd always wait
and if you did complain that i was late
it wouldn't be cos you were mad
you'd be far more relieved than sad
all night waiting for me
anxiously stewing there
adorning my valentine's gift in your hair
diamonds in your eyes, lips of topaz
melting men's hearts with your jazz
but waiting only for me

I'd barely found my seat in the dark
when you drew me into your heart
by planting 1000 soft kisses across my face
if only Eden were such a place
where summer rain never felt so pleasant
and the future seemed to blur past and present
revealing my life as i wished it to be
no matter what, just wished you with me

And as our lips brushed
petals of delicate velvet crushed
sending this rush through my pelvis
softening steel, bending bone
sending me home...

when we kissed that night, at once i knew
that my last first-kiss had been with you.


To be in your arms every lovers' day, lady. There's your answer. JR.

Havana

Me nah float in space
nah, mi fly high
right up to de clouds
of Havana in de sky
say to de Lord,
"Nah look at my sins
mi umbilical chord
done chart where i been
so judge me, Lord,
mi heart is my king
open dem doors
and please let me in!"

but de Lord say, "No."
me never ask why
maybe if i cry
He gan' my tears dry
He say, "Go slow,
you not ready to die
spread love to da people
be My messenger guy."

and den de gates close
me never look back
for de Lord knows
i'll follow de right track
and wat i seen in heaven?
me never gan' tell
it dont matter how ya livin'
as long as ya live well.
