a carnal woman
maybe she was that way because she was sad and lonely
~
leaving a carnal, sexual, woman
one battle over, one victory won
the long struggle that will end
one day in honesty and freedom
not for her, not for years to come

heading to her favorite bar
to look for a much younger man
sad sweet goodbye
you never lose someone you have truly loved
~
let the rains fall
and wash away her tears
let me be strong
and take away her fears
let me be kind enough
to wish her well
now she loves another

walking away from everything
carnal drinking is messy
addicted to sex, hitting the bars, picking up younger men
~
I was mystified
she cheated and lied
sadly that’s bad

she likes young men
when she can get them
and they know what to do
if not for her
cheating doesn’t come from a lack of love
it comes from a lack of respect
~
I saw you with that whore
open dress public amore
that’s only the final coup
guess that we’re through
nobody to blame but you
you could never be true
got to find someone new
well baby it’s a fond adieu
so stew you faithless bore
you can’t hurt me anymore

did you have to choose someone older?
her eyes spoke to his soul
behind her beautiful eyes lay secrets darker and deeper than the sea
~
it took me years to realise
that much to my surprise
I could find paradise in her eyes
~

her beautiful blue eyes enraptured his heart
Dreams of Love Lost
don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened
~
adieu
she’s gone
we were forever
how can love be over
it’s hard to control sadness
when will my heart beat again?
she knows I can never love another
crying the longest sad sorrow of adieu
~

better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all
Songs on Saturday ~ Billy Joel
people disappoint, passion is ephemeral, pasta is eternal
A long, long time ago, I can still remember when this music used to make me smile. That was before I started wearing Italian suits, dated an Italian girl, bought an Italian car, and almost married into the Jacionelli Family. Suit Ferragamo, Shoes Gucci, Car Alpha Romeo, Girl Sophia, Ice Cream Jacionelli.
Some say that you can’t ever truly know a woman until you’ve taken her out for dinner to your favorite little Italian Restaurant. And that you will never what she’s going to look like when she’s older until you’ve met her mother. All I know is that I’d rather have an Alpha Romeo sports car than a Morris Oxford.
History may be repeating itself ~ as history does

beautiful, expensive, temperamental
lost love’s journey’s ending
the heart’s darkest wilderness is not a place of this Earth
~
I have journeyed far
through Xanadu, Samarkand, Shangri-la, and Elsinore
I traveled not for love alone
but to fulfill my quest, meet my fate, and free my soul
my heart torn apart by ardour
I wandered by the mountains of the moon’s raging river
in darkest passion’s burning fervour
I could take the pain and stand the rain as should warrior
a warrior proud, steadfast, alone forever
I wouldst take you far to Shangri-la, a land of never never
so join me, my princess most proud and fair
be my Lady, my Goddess, Queen of Camelot and Elsinore
to be together, as it ’twere long ago and before
lost love’s journey’s ending, together now and forevermore

darkness cannot drive out darkness
only the dawn’s early light can do that
chaos in love
true love finds an oasis of calm in the storm’s chaos
~
and where there once was love
now there’s nothing left to say
go down to the water’s edge
cast dreams and prayers away
leave all the hurt and pain unsaid
I was bad, I was blind, I was unkind
all that’s left are memories to forgive

there are no rainbows over a black beach
when a man’s in love
a real man takes the time to learn how to love only one woman
~
if he is in love
he will find a way
to forge their destiny
together, forever, always
under a soft summer moon
