Femme Elemental

Rain falls
And I’m falling, baby
Let me go
And let me drown
Gently, intensely
Slowly following me down

Earth moves, child
So let me tremble
And my hands are shaking,
Dangerously
Just one more touch together
Tangled words, infinitely

Break it down, beautiful
And keep leaving her alone
Hold her through the fears
Emotions hushed
In whispered tones

Tell her that you love her, darling
Make her believe your words
Talk in secret with the others
Laughing thoughts,
Caressing murmurs

Touch her spine, little one
Press your body against hers
Take her hand
And kiss her palms
You know she hasn’t heard
You speak the truth

Fire burns inside your memory
Flames creasing skin and mind
Powerfully acidic
Scarring lips
In sinking times

Air breathes into your lungs
So let me breathe with you
Sorrow in the rhythmic tides,
Vapor brushing
Silent tongues.
