I'll hold your soul whilst you are sleeping
When star light beckons for a home
When friends are there but your left yearning
When you cant find a way back home*

We can sit drink coffee
And chat awhile
Or get drunk on red wine
And go the whole mile
Soul seeking
Life stripping friendship
And a need to connect

Blow away the blue skies
Darkness is comfortable
And I can't hold my eyes above my chin today

Hold tight sister brother
Breathe and tell
Rid yourself from the burden of the pain you carry
If only for a while

You have shared your
Naked flesh
Naked heart
Now unclothed your soul

In blood and flesh
You reside
In mind and soul
You will remember

*Come sit awhile
The star dust is falling
And you are safe here within
The sanctity of connection

it's licking at my toes
eventually it will
consume me
who knows?
what will burn away
with my sanity?
Sure, it will take my flesh
it will even steal
my last breath
But who knows!
If my bones don't go
I'll forever be
just another skeleton
in your closet
for all to see
When you open it
to hang the cloaks
of the ones that strip
for you
it's not jealousy
Only the fire
can cleanse
*you of me

I once sewed into your pocket
all the hopes and dreams
I wanted one day, for you
inside of those seams
were wishes
for your happiness
hopes for a better future
and a line of text
that can only be read
as you put hand in pocket
and pull it inside out
and it said
remember this empty pocket
it was once full of hope
pulled from the warmth
of a jacket, it represents
the slippery *****
of coldness
that you once shivered beneath

inside the empty pocket
of the warmth of this coat
is all the love I hope you'll keep
