For the Contest Breathe

Breathe When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and it takes you to the caves where anything turns gold you don't ask any questions and you don't dare breathe you just follow her, like a light weight tumbled weed Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune every step a little deeper than the crevices of moon you can almost taste the air, on your tonguing clepe you can down the stars of heaven in one single leap Taking you by the waist it shall dance you through the elixir of happiness when your feeling down n' blue you just thank the Lord for the magic of this gift all you need is skin n' eyes to cross her lowly rift When night claims you like a wayward leaf of old and takes you to her caves, all etched with gold don't ask her any questions just go ahead breathe no, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe, yes breathe... written by Mystic Rose And with each baited breath you breathe You find, you'll begin to slip away with ease While silently the cavern walls now hems you in Whether it be Heaven's lust or righteous sin Your eyes now open wide, collecting light Find no greater solace, in this barren night As you lose all self, of who you were With every fiber, becomes one with her Thoroughly drunk on this harmonious gift With each sensation you span the lowly rift And as sure as the moon controls the tide Your very heart and soul, exposed can't hide Down, down, down with the darkness growing Where the sacred of all cups, is over flowing The journey's long and it is without reprieve Now's not time to think it over, just breathe written by Me
