I Celebrate Your Skin

Her secrecy is charming to me
The sexual wisdom of a thousand years
With silver eyes she tore through me
It is you
I bring to ruin
Please a silent hour it's you that turned old
My love was never a blessing
My gifts are cold
So I celebrate your blood It is the music of the sea
I was simply running for the flesh
Your wound falls away from me
Your summer breathes aloud it is a kiss that awakens me
My secrecy is charming to her
The two of us we understood
With fragile limbs you claimed the distance
While holding hands with a dying God
It was my pride you gifted to me
While holding hands with a dying God
So I celebrate your skin it is the curves of the earth
Roaring skies endlessly left on the great day of your birth
As you lay before my storm a bird sits at your noble feet
I am a word apart
I am the coldest heart I am a serpent of the sea
You are a golden sun you are the silver moon you are a fever killing me
I am a thoughtless dream I am never seen I am what you all will be
You are the glowing pain you are the one to blame you are my tragedy.
