Moorings

Unanchored undertaker they say
Her fingers forsake her
With their tips cascading untethered
But i'll deny my ungrounding
These alarms I'm re-sounding
But I'm floating in contours
But i'll stay together.

I could better map my ambition than you
Warm apparition
For your curve is sharper than sabers
Could I beg for your patience
Through my stumbling cadence
But the air in my words comes now labored.

And my dear, i've swallowed stones
The weight of jaded bones
To hold me down
But you cast my moorings away
But you lean
Could you reach?
I will sing and i'll beseech you
To hold me? Could you grasp me? Could you stay?

Your murmurs
Indented my
Skin-deep defenses
Have I weathered this tempest before?
But in my paradigm tilt please
Say my name as I wilt
So I know when my divesting's secured.

And I will cling to your grips
To your holds and to your lips
And I will plant my soles firm in this soil
For if my body is rooted
Though my heart's been looted
I'll stay if fear urges my love to recoil.

And my dear, i've swallowed stones
The weight of jaded bones
To hold me down
But you cast my moorings away
But you lean
Could you reach?
I will sing and i'll beseech you
To hold me? Could you grasp me? Could you stay?

And my dear, i've swallowed stones
The weight of jaded bones
To hold me down
But you cast my moorings away
But you lean
Could you reach?
I will sing and i'll beseech you
To hold me? Could you grasp me? Could you stay?
