Jade
Sweet innocence lost
of a girl tenacious of life
New woman discovered
for the love of the devil has been inside her
left her vacant,
looking for her mittens.
She's singing solo this song
no choir to blend with,
hide behind.
The poisonous serpent guard holds the key
to her sanity.
Went out one day
got lost in the rain
upon sunrise
livid night still glimmered.
Bathed in dereliction of the madonna
a jade in Elysian fields.
Her dream piles disheveled,
delight cubes have melted
She completes the finishing stroke
to be tenement of clay.
Vicitimized by winter's reign
Finds glory in weltering in her blood
At least it's still crimson
veiling her arms
dripping life from her ankles.
The white carpet testament
to the thorns that dug deeper into her soul.
Let me hold your hand across the street,
Catch your blood in my mouth
like snowflakes on my tongue
melt away
Give me your cross to bear
Go kiss the Blarney Stone
I will run this bull out of your china shop
Let me drink our of the bitter cup.
The candle is burning fast now,
flame almost submerged in melted wax.
Find your way back to the angle choir, and
green trees
for a singing bird will come.
