| SWEPT AWAY A potion dark as cherry wine Taints your lips and words that Breeze past Touching so lightly but Razing the tender skin of the cheek Cutting into and scarring That flesh Your fingers then trace The line of blood red Smearing the stain into naive eyes Blinding You take my love And crush me to your chest I cry I am so damn weak by Sheryl McCurdy |

| COFFIN NAIL darkness cannot stay me No! For I live to love you Dear Heart! desert me not I say vehemently for if you do thunder cloaks of midnight cloth will cover my dead remains If mourning shroud will hold me fast as wishes and dreams of embraces from you that then will I wear Gladly and Leave me Not! for should we part cannot will not continue As breath to living You are mine Without - a gasp left only then candle wick flame blown out the only fear to me is that which leaves my limbs a-tremble Only if my Breath, my Life my Dear Heart apart we would stay That hammer blow would seal the nail into my coffin lid! So said with passion eyes aglow in red! ...Yet in heartless fashion do you I see tossing rose petals on the top of me thorns intact impale that life which you gave me - Breath How So? Tears are blood and rain from you See me here! See me here! Why go? ...yet you do...leaving bloody tears a-trailing My shroud of death remains open to the rain... if you could but enter into this velvet coffin nest life would puzzle no more you... for sod bound Yes I now am but with a love hope That your life breath to me once again could be! and I would become Free of coffins nail Free from under lions paw Free to love in life and leave this stink of living Hell by Sheryl McCurdy |
