someone somewhere dance with me... someone? fill my arms. Fill this cavity of chest... someone keep me safe from harm. someone somewhere-- dance with me? erasing emptiness... Let there be a hole in fill dread for shadows of duress. a body, warm to block the light. A reason crawling there's no flight a reason, begging, emptiness oh grant me my forgetfulness... mercy tented, lack of me-- they all laugh now-- scorning me scorching me in yellow's bright the logic of the white spot-light buried layers in the paint (smiley-faced) I am. I ain't. Leaded yellow's cadmium begging blush of difference. I stare into the mirror now. I paint my lips in curl of smile. I gaze into a depth of me-- tossing pennies, left unspent. Copper's generosity-- I let this robe fall to the floor, my lips are smiling in paint's war-- toss me pennies--I am spent. |

Leaded yellow's cadmium begging blush of difference. toss me pennies--I am spent. this begins almost like a lonely lullabye then canters into war song... and there are several things I'm picking up that might not even be intended... I don't think I understand it all, but, still enjoyed it (heh. sounds like many nights before ~snort~) damn, I love that last line. a dagger, karen... no, more final, like the last stomp to a tango... this was a whirl, girly... sometime you'll have to explain it to me. loveya.~m p.s. and can I say that I've always wanted someone who would pull me off the couch and dance barefoot in the living room? sighness. this took me there a moment... |

How she loves me, I dont understand |
