Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

I’m gonna take a thousand hungry fantasies

And seductively caress your deepest desires

Because I want you to feel profoundly touched

As we ride grasping at tornadoes of passion

Grasping for life like it was Dorothy’s ruby slippers

Because I was that Tin Man you gave a heart to

Wound it up so sensuously it became completely… yours

And created for me a world of Yellow Brick Roads

Where you showed me how to be strong with my words

Like that Lion I found the courage to fly with you

Like that Scarecrow I began thinking I can do anything

And like that Wizard I know that Emerald Cities

Is where our bodies will meet and join as one

And your eyes will become pink cotton candy cloudy

And you’ll lie there playfully in your gingham mini-skirt

With your full mouth pouting like a petulant child

And Munchkin like whispers of ecstasy will surround us

When you float my name among your moans of pleasure

Moans that we’ll give birth to in the eye of this storm

Because this storm is the reality of our lives

But it’s also a storm full of wonderful magic

So full that it’ll make you close your eyes

And click your heels repeating, repeating and repeating

“There’s no place like his arms”

Until finally realizing that there is no place

Like my arms
