Lay Down Your Arrows.....
Pretty Shiela
lay down your arrows
your thumbs are greener
your tulips your fushia
you look pale
lay down your arrows
your golden sheild
i'm wondering
i'm listless
i'm searching
and i imagined what it would be like
that forbidden kiss
like blood
do i want it
because it's forbidden
and what if it's the wrong moment
like a coffee stain
and someone is watching
it feels like claws?
Shiela
lay down your arrows
it's OK
tonight
lay down
the Quilts are made of hay
and the ponies are hiding
there are no weapons
just many arrows
listless and wandering
and looking for lost blood
stolen
and do i want this
because it's forbidden
like an angel wrapped around a cigar
do i need this
because i can't have it
do i need this
envious memory
like pale Snow White
and her porcelin skin
like a second chance
for a 7 year old
a baby life
Shela
there's no more wars between your veins
just the midnight sun
waiting to be born
and do i need blood
because
it's forbidden words
like an angel wrapped around a cigar.......
