Skin

Skin


So this is how you lose your mind.  It goes where your heart goes.

I am obsessed with thoughts of skin on skin.

All I want to do is surrender to this madness--
                                       learn to love myself--
                                                          it feels so good to be wanted

You have been wading in my thoughts again,
revelling in the erotic playground I keep just for you
And now you're tired,
                          lying close to me,
                          wanting to bury yourself in me--
                                                                              skin on skin--
                                                                                life to life--

“I want to feel your skin up inside me."
                                                          it feels so good to be wanted

            You grin, knowing how I will expose myself to you
                                                                                  down
                                                                                        to
                                                                                       the
                                                                                     bone, 
                                                                        if you need it.
You told me once you wanted me to be willing to die for you
       and here I am--
                                 legs spread, veins wide open.

You know how much I will give.
                                                          it feels so good to be wanted

Your tongue is in my mouth;
Your words are in my mouth.
Your passions are soaring thru my body.

I feel your rhythm
A tuning fork struck against your hard surface,
I resonate.

Your voice lives in my mind,
daring me not just to think the unthinkable,
                                                 but to say it--
                                                       to sing it--
                                                          to be it!

And so I write you words
                            I cannot show the world
                            I dare not show my friends

Expose myself in every way

and wait.

It isn't a life without fear you offer
but a love of that fear--
it shivers through me, 
lighting my soul
shattering my exoskeleton                      exposing me to the world
                                         to myself
teaching me to trust.

This song I sing for you starts in my soul,

                         pure and clear and whole.
But as it slowly makes its way to my heart
                         the broken glass
                         the barbed wire
                                                        tear it,
                                                    shatter it, 
and all I can do is reconstruct it from blood
                                                             and 
                                                             sighs
                                                              and
                                                        sweet, unremembered dreams
                             And what I have to offer is misshapen,
                                                                                    bloody, 
                                                                             torn

                                                 And still you tell me
                                        Open up my heart and sing--

                                                          it feels so good to be wanted
You take me to the edge
                                      needy,
                                                 dependent,
                                lonely

and take me over

                                   flying through fear

                                                 through death

                                                                                             it feels
          through love

                                                                               it feels so good

                                                                  to find myself

                                        it feels so good
                    love myself

It feels so good to be wanted.
