COULD THIS BE LOVE?

Tousle me, tousle me
Tousle me, Beauty
I’ll laugh for a lifetime
Come, tousle my hair.

Come dance with me, Beauty
Prance with me, Beauty
Sing what you dare
For my joy’s in the air.

Fling with me finely
Swirl me divinely
Dance and enhance me
My heart is astir.

I’ll pull at your ribbons
Bright ribbons of silk
Entwine them around me
My lady so fair.

Say to me, say to me
Say that you love me
Come, Angel of beauty
Leap up from your chair.

Sing to me, sing to me
Say that you love me
Select me, accept me
My Beauty, my Fair.

Entice me, propel me
Enmesh me, delight me
Sweetheart, my True Heart
My life loving Dear Heart.

In Springtime and soul time
Your time and my time
Cartwheels and handstands
Let’s tarry us there.

So tousle me, dazzle me
Razzle and frazzle me
Sweet beauty jazz with me
Embrace me, my Fair.

Enlist me, invent me
Prolong me, make strong me
Devise me, allow me
And ever enthral me.

Inform me, reform me
Say you will storm me
Entrancing while dancing
My Lady so fair.

Enraptured and captured
I’ll be your Beauty
Quickly so true to you
Come away to the fair.

As light as a feather
I’ll love and endeavour
Let’s dance in the heather
My true soul, forever.

Advise me, revise me
Reach and high-five me
The flash of your moist eyes
Such a thrill to surprise me.

Don’t lose or refuse me
Be certain to choose me
Be keen to excuse me
As we dance up the stair.

Encode me, reload me
Sweep to my rescue
For I ever shall bless you
And I fancy you’ll care.

Can you spin and revolve me
Resolve and then solve me
Waltzing then twisting
In Life’s jigging affair?

Fingers touching, entwining
Encroaching my longing
And ever belonging
While dreaming, you’ll see.

I’m jiving, reviving and ever contriving
My Love in my hot arms ever aspiring
Engaging each other, deeply as one
We’ll jive away Time before we be gone.

==============xxxxx============

In the dreamtime, in the meantime
The lovers let be
In the Springtime and in our lifetime
This could be you and this could be me.
