Self Turn On
What makes you come alive?
Is it the way you take all in stride?
Is it mystery & adventure of life?
Is it the love you have for your wife?
If single, what turns you on?
The love of all who come along?
Do you live life on the edge?
Taking risks and pushing the hedge?
Are you the isolative type?
A good book is your biggest hype?
Do you make an effort to look for love?
Or, does it come to you, like love from above?
Do you enjoy watching others?
Wondering what it is they utter?
They mumble to themselves as they go along.
Maybe they hear voices? Could that be wrong?
Maybe you’re a TV addict?
Watching the tube, you’re really at it.
Maybe it is technical interest of any kind.
Convoluted enough to blow your mind.
Maybe gambling gives you a thrill?
Blowing your own money at your own will?
Maybe ‘hot’ cars is your turn on?
Racing a mean machine. Better than a bong.
Playing or watching sports of any kind?
That might be just what you have in mind.
Whatever it is, does it serve the need?
Is it something you want to retrieve?
Is it something that is good for you?
Or, is it something you shouldn’t do?
Self evaluation & understanding may help.
Something that will make her heart melt.
Make you someone she can look up to.
Instead of someone who only turns on you.
