We **** like adults We love like adults But we hide underneath our child-like skin Underneath a mountain of sheets Words we try not to repeat But keep me in the palm of your hand As you take pictures of my blue painted toes A flame bursting and caressing Within me.
Internal space has got some shape Dark thoughts I try to replace them Piano sounds swirling, identify this or that Movie cameras blink, blink Snap me back into being grateful For my luck, my surroundings. Maybe its the holes in the dirt Outside the view of my window Or how when I want total control I imagine hurling myself in front of a car Or cleaning knives Like just how I have picked them up throughout all my life But life as a Ukrainian doctor told me: "Life is beautiful."
Cathartic, out of body experience I can't control what I say when I ****** Wail your name with whimpers Every time you leave my arms I worry when I will see you again. I don't know what that is I don't know what that means But you tell me and tell me, You are in this for the long haul.
I dreamed of betrayal and a lost soul last night Your warm compact body next to me I don't think you will ever really understand Me, and all my complexities But I see you leaping over the highest mountains Never ending roof tops That splinter and break Underneath your perfect made For grace, Feet If it meant, you would get to my embrace.
Your past coos out icy cold fingers from time to time As mine rolls in hurricanes and thunderous ocean waves I accept and try to forget All the fear of the deep south.
Late hours, ticking clocks Words I don't know what I will speak just yet But I want to be the glamorous woman next to you Full of power and freedom As you, your tattooed longing lips Reminding me to breathe Keeping me sane
