Absence of Fear

Inside my skin

There is this space

It twists and turns

It bleeds and aches

Inside my hollow heart, there’s an empty room.

It’s waiting for lightning,

It’s waiting for you.

I am wanting…I am needing you here…inside the absence of fear.

Muscle and sinew

Velvet and stone

This vessel is haunted, it creaks and moans…

My bones call to you

In their separate skin

I make myself transluscent to let you in, for

I am wanting….I am needing you here, inside the absence of fear,

There is this hunger, this restlessness inside of me.

And it knows that you’re no stranger, your my Gravity!

My hands will adore you through all darkness and they will

Lay you out in the moonlight and reinvent your Name!

For, I

Am Wanting

I Am Needing You Here, inside the absence

of fear.
