you squeeze me like growing pains
exciting and tense
you're glorious like frustration
hungry and dry
you hurt me like questions
long and confused
you're holding me like thick-air
real and heavy

'Are you my soul?'

Ravenous
for peace
I clean the mirror
Beautiful
my sister
inside the well
Thirsty
I reach
to the surface
Frightened
my fingers
fragile and pale
Shimmering
I glean
worshiping warmth
Created
by light
and to light I return

Word of the 'week':

Ridiculous:
zany, awful, shocking, amazing, spellbinding, ridiculous, nonsensical.

ie: #1: "Look at that ridiculous pair of shoes!"
#2: "And then I watched this ridiculous sunset."
#3: "Murder is ridiculous"
#4: "This is a ridiculously delicious cake, Mom"
#6: "He's so handsome, it's almost ridiculous"
#5: "I can't believe it! How ridiculous!"
#7: "Absolutely ridiculous."

ps. I think this dress of Bjork's is ridiculous. In the best kind of way.

Eden

You and I went outside of the tent
We lay down by the fire, where we got wet
Running barefeet softly landing, fairy dancing in the rain
We went back inside, while you slept I cried awake

You were the highest of my highs
for three years and a short time
heal my heartbeat
with your big, soft hands
seal the truth in deep
with your big, soft hands

Castles in my suitcase and I left all the pills that I've been taking
Running barefoot from the world back into the mist where we were born
and your sweet little curls tangled with the leaves
they were falling from the trees where we slept

This is how we're meant to be
Part of the earthen scenery
This is how we're meant to be
in the Garden of Eden
This is how we're meant to be
you be Adam - I'll be Eve

Heal my heartbeat
with your big, soft hands
Seal the truth in deep
with your big, soft hands
with your big soft hands
with your big, soft hands.
