Sing Out for Eros
You on your seat there
sit up and sing out
Sing out for Eros
Love is unbelievable
so it must be believed
Believe you own loving
your passion and folly
your incredible hopes
Praise the marvels of
joy tube and love pump
It you must feel tortured
respect your misery
and be happy about it
Only the nonsensical is
at ease with the Absolute
Listen to your angels
ripening your secrets
Come to beautiful terms
with the god in your body
with the body of your god
Share flesh with others
Wake love Make love
Clasp hearts Exuberate
And never look back till
you are far out of sight
(1983)
