"Odd Lovers" I feel your reign o’er my warm skin your eyes cast their burning cerebral majesty sharp diamonds cool blue sky twinning rays the same time dawn and dusk glistening towards me like the rapturous Sun in debate with boiling Ocean I am Queen’s Land, nubile and unconquered a spent sugar cane field arrested in your glowing fire laid out like a Sunday service gone wrong and come undone taken up like a god’s bride eager to please and smiling in your riotous crackling laughter, some kindness, this untamed desire jade green ignites into crystalline I am all the wild animals running ruinous out into open and now seen hear my wanton cries uncovered in soft spun blankets of dark night I am the Moon glowing opallious and high-pearled rising to meet your fevered and hungry molten lava kiss drowning in waves of some scorching small death redemption I bite eagerly with wet lips your brief eclipse there is the taste of bittersweet candy slowly mulled and fermented like fine mead honey drunk deliberate and heady for a short story time goes slowly there is the taste of fire in the sharing of a missed moment merging dimensions in fragile silky gossamer webbed dreams I bite eagerly with wet lips your brief eclipse there is the taste of bittersweet candy made from our odd lover’s kiss (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) "Moon and Moon" (Two Suns) / Bat for Lashes https://youtu.be/hMzua0mwrVk LYRICS/"Moon and Moon" (Two Suns) / Bat for Lashes https://genius.com/Bat-for-lashes-moon-and-moon-lyrics
