WHAT GIVES DESIRE ITS NAME,

EAST

NO PEACE


QUESTION WHISPERS TO THE WEST WIND,

I WILL DWELL ON YOU, I AM ALONE,

YOUR BREATH SOOTHS ME,

PEACE COVERS WHAT IS INVISIBLE,

PASSING EAST BY,

EMBRACING NORTH,

SEDUCING SOUTH,

AS TO SAY THIS IS WHAT YOU SEEK,

WITH A SMILE, THAT STEALS AND EMBODIES THE MIND,

SOFT LIKE SILK, A TOUCH IS ONLY A MIRAGE

CRIES ACHE, AS HULLICINATION BLANKETS ITS BED,

AN MOMENTS, CHESTIES THE SOUL,

THE WEST ROARS,

DEFENDING THE HONOR OF LOVE,

I WILL LOVE YOU TIL THE END OF TIME,

APPROACHING HOURS MAKE DAYS,

YOUR TOUCH FEELS ME,

WARMTH

PASSION,


SHEETS WITH NO ONE TO CREASE THEM,

LAY AWAIT,

COMFORT,

ALONE, SCREAMS FAILS PEACE EXISTANCES,

INCREASING WANT,

NEED COMES FORWARD, WITH ITS WRITTEN AGREEMENT,

CLOUDS THUNDERED, AS THE VOICE OF REASON SAID,

ON THIS LINE SIGN YOU’RE SOUL,

I WILL LET EAST BED YOU,

EAST SMILED, AS THE ENVY OF DESIRE GAVE A SECOND, TIME,

Yes and it carries a double meaning in that the final analysis is the same. Know peace or no peace?
