The Heart Holds a Scarlet Sky

6/5/2009 She is soft as naked Silken-like tenderness Hungered on from before Barely, almost devoured The ancient secrets Now hold iridescent By a shadow's embrace Beckons; will I follow? O' rested she there A viscous temptation Like a vessel found Thru eyes of a storm Ah~ the skin on her back Ascending souls up heaven Her woven lines now realized Amazing grace my beautified Savoy: "This sin of flesh This mortal wound This pound of fate This rise of praise These, mine love I live in your daze" I'll covet you whole Drain your inner scent Through late weary hours A cello I watch you play Laid you there so open Came I, conjured vexation Catching glimpses of a dawn Blood and rain leaves a moan... Isbell: "Mine is broken under promised lies Our bodies shaken under naked eyes A soul is taken under Cupid's guise Our sin afresh and a bleeding sky" Live or die this moment Brave I've staid the game Now rest assured my woman I've always known your name.
