come on in, baby

by Raj Arumugam

come on in, baby
it’s your world too
come in and have a seat
take your place;
it’s not just passive:
take what you need
and give what you can

there are no in doors
and no out doors
as you can see,
though each will have one’s time;
so come on in, baby
it’s your day to begin
any time you’re ready

you might think
it’s all good to go crazy;
or you might think it fit
to be fair, just
and moderate
to give and receive love

you choose there, baby
in your seat
you make your own movie;
and whichever genre you choose
one day, sweetheart,
you’ll be your own critic
you’ll write your own review

come on in, baby
it’s your world too
come in and have a seat
take your place;
it’s not just passive:
take what you need
and give what you can
