Feel the skin,
Just the outer shell

Flowing blood within around my soul
Separate from what I consider me

Hair that decorates and keeps me warm
Singes when its burnt

Fashion wood and a sword
Raw weapons elemental
Real on the surface
Knock knock, slip
And blood covers all

Step out from under here
Elements of the Earth
See with your eyes
Maturing
Real

Did you really feel that?
Sick slip sucking open
The heart, foul and black
Let it tell you what to do
This music inside you

Body and hands in rising opera
  Beauty in kiss of soul touch God
    Let the night know...

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purposes

Dear Itchy, I must confess that I have the need to scratch under my feathers whenever I see your name!

The closing stanza was especially appealing to this reader ~

"Body and hands in rising opera
  Beauty in kiss of soul touch God
    Let the night know..."

Love & Light,
EA
