The pixies no 13 baby

The knife we share our mothers health

The chromatics kill for love. crystal castles courtship dating

my love for you as winter
snowflakes through frozen breath
springs promise, came and gone
under autumn's awaited death

I linger, walking the avenues of my heart
every turn I took was wrong
listening for your footsteps
looking for your song

my love rests in the sea
the sun at dusk is drowned
your face, my Diana
cast in alabaster
all your tears of silver
washing upon the ground

If I had a thousand lives
but only one to live
I would patiently wait them out
and this to you I'd give

If my voice were the loudest
a hurricane born of furious strifeful seas
but to only one I could speak
I would stay my voice, hold my tongue
And whisper you to sleep

If my spirit was shrouded, cloaked in angelic wings
Bouyant, unthethered without fright
yet with only one moment to ascend
I would turn my back on golden kingdoms
Walking next to you, hidden from sight

in those finite eternities
you coerced me through salted, frozen earth
a struggling shoot reaching up
because you were above
and this light I needed
to grow, and I grew
in that lifetime I did not bend nor break
but weathered strong against the seasons
I came as close to the sky as I could
I felt your light, warmth for years
and then I succumbed
but I was not alone

in those finite eternities
you took my eroding heart
and filled the dark holes, fathomless
with a million stars
bright, hot, curious
I was no longer solidarity
I was surrounded, under canopy
in this forest I sang without a voice, beautiful
and you danced without movement, so bright
I felt maybe god was there
and she loved me
with the million stars
you helped me see

I would live a thousand lives
and die a thousand deaths
to sing that voiceless song
life, on my lips and in my hands
universes brought together
above an ancient tree
I would always reach above for you
in those finite eternitire

Thanks.

The rhythmic lapping
The ebb, the flow
skin to skin
sea to shore
wind in warm hues
a breath of life
eddying, kissing the curves of shells
our ears, engulfed
the hearts current, pounding
The primitive drumbeat
sweat, pulling me into undertow
down, swallowing sweet salts
In tides timeless moments
into these waves
we cast ourselves heedless
submerged, we who abandon ships
to find safety in the storm
Arisen
from an ocean
spilling from embrace
left breathless, yet more alive
than any other time
skin to skin
sea to shore
