Leather And Lace

Tolkien’s Dreams
To Ja’net… who taught me that EVERYTHING… has two sides that balance

A special lady… she’s “hard” with grace
The best combination of leather and lace
Tell her she moves me ? … I just get denied
Told I’ve gone blind… or suspected I’ve lied
I know what she’s feeling… I’ve been there myself
Run away… hide yourself back on a shelf
But something inside me still worries me so
I’ve tried to ignore it but still feel it grow
Still… patience, you see, is a virtue I’m told
And I don’t mind watching this flower unfold
For anything good always keeps a slow pace
I can wait for this lady of…
leather and lace
