Staining Your Heart

I can make you feel silly
I can make you feel blue
Just by my words
When I write them to you

I can give you a shiver
send chills down your spine
lift you to heaven
with the words that are mine

I can stir your emotions
and edge you to cry
squeeze till you're choking
with a fateful goodbye

I can make you feel love
in its fantasy form
ache till you break
as I make you conform

to my will, with a thrill
that can take you away
like a magical carpet
ride the words that I  say

I can make you feel lust
arouse all your senses
excite your desires
as I  curb  your defenses

It only takes words
forced onto paper
to tickle your fancy
with my naughty new caper

I can make you real angry
by the words that I write
seethe you with venom
as you curse through the night

I can give you a chuckle
or perhaps even laughter
something to think about
even long after

Long after I'm gone
my words will remain
my thoughts will live on
in your heart,, leave my stain
