Mistress Of Mind

o mistress of mind where are you going?
stay and be with me, i am truth yearning
sing me what is desiring
go no farther, be sweet let 's pet
kiss my lips in this lovers' tryst
you must be wise enough to know

tell me what is love? what is lust?
it is not out there, it is here.
present pushes, real pulls
what is out there is still not sure
hugs delayed is love denied
come and kiss me, make love to me
sweet and severe, soft and tender
this we must this time endure.

A youth, a low boat, a bay lot.
Oh ten kisses, let us sing the key note.
