Woven between nerves and tendons
You travel like a piece of thread
Delicate and soft, the needle pierces
out through the epidermal and I finally see
The bright gleam of your teeth
Grinning as you bite down into me
Like your clothing, I am still and pliant
Only shifting to wrap around you once more
Only speaking to soothingly whisper
Against your skin, I am a blanket of secrets
You've woven into me once again
Come tomorrow, I will show your colors
And live the world by your design
Dyed in deep pigmented jasmine
Brightened emerald and sublime
Come tomorrow, I'm a painter,
A weaver, intertwined
Today, tomorrow, I will love you
And leave the monochrome behind

Woven between nerves and tendons
You travel like a piece of thread
Delicate and soft, the needle pierces
out through the epidermal and I finally see
The bright gleam of your teeth
Grinning as you bite down into me
Like your clothing, I am still and pliant
Only shifting to wrap around you once more
Only speaking to soothingly whisper
Against your skin, I am a blanket of secrets
You've woven into me once again
Come tomorrow, I will show your colors
And live the world by your design
Dyed in deep pigmented jasmine
Brightened emerald and sublime
Come tomorrow, I'm a painter,
A weaver, intertwined
Today, tomorrow, I will love you
And leave the monochrome behind
