Wilde

Working so hard, trying to make the
best of it all.
Alfred was young and all that he wanted
was having a ball.
I wish I had been there to see you,
to catch you when you had to fall.
I’m wild, Wilde — feeling you inside,
Wilde, oh Wilde — a solid touch, brutality
mild.
So wild, Wilde — nothing left to hide,
Wilde, oh Wilde — I’m jumping up and
down just like a child.
Reading your words, trying to follow
your exile in France.
If you had been younger you might
have forgotten and started to dance.
A genius bigger than ever,
literally shaped in a trance.
I’m wild, Wilde — feeling you inside,
Wilde, oh Wilde — a solid touch, brutality
mild.
So wild, Wilde — nothing left to hide,
Wilde, oh Wilde — I’m jumping up and
down just like a child.
So scandalously raped
when admirers blushed and escaped.
If it happened today
I wish people knew what to say.
I’m wild, Wilde — feeling you inside,
Wilde, oh Wilde — a solid touch, brutality
mild.
So wild, Wilde — nothing left to hide,
Wilde, oh Wilde — I’m jumping up and
down just like a child.
