I'm so sorry you are so beautiful
maybe too beautiful for words, Autumn
so sorry, again, as I am so old
older than you could imagine, okay
such is my luck, now I'm no longer shy
only reserved without raging hormones
raging and railing against the wind, blow
ridiculous grace to present myself
yet, if I were just thirty years younger
yes, I'm an old man with enormous wings
only I'm neither angel nor demon
underneath the lies, I uncover truth
ask me not why Icarus falls, wax wings
remember the lecher, I'm no teacher
empty words, meaningless idle chatter
such is my fate, full of disappointment
only I did not die young, I survived
beauty changes over the years, it burns
elegant as butter in a hot pan
a skillet over flames, melting sweetness
underneath the lies, I understand love
truth be told, I may be bold, a tiger
ignorant of how to apply wisdom
for theory is more real than in practice
underneath the physical world, magic
lifts the veil of illusion, marry me
