My body is a terrain You know the edges How do you poke my soul real deep Touch and clutch it like your hands would never let go I have been doused a couple of times Yet this fire kindles with the force of old wood Pray with me Stay with me Will you recognize me in the dark?  How do I stay in the midst of a crowd yet feel lonely till you walk through Could it be when we hold hands Could it be when my heart dances to the rhythm of your heart                                                                       I don't know a lot of things Perhaps you are a river Permit me to plunge in I will dive in it There is a scent of peace when I 'm here Flick your tongue Is this the taste of freedom?

Earlier this morning I had woken up with a crave for bread. My love love for bread can be likened to that between a dog and a bone.

Sniff! Stale is the smell of our air Water no longer quenches thirst Stunted we are Sunlight burns our sight Will this seed ever sprout? Loud silence would not have us discern vision or sound.
