New Forms of Prayer

Bend over bend over,

Let me see what bit of Heaven,

Got left behind.

Slide over slide over.

Let me wrap my desire,

Around your warm, crazy feline.

Crawl over crawl over,

And show me the meaning,

Of poetry and rhyme.

Tear this shirt, pull me close,

Let me send zephyrs along,

The shadows of your jawline.

Let's shake the world,

Let's rattle the cages,
Set fire to your fear and pain.

Take my breath away from me,

Push it back in my mouth,

Oh my darling, do it again.

Turn around one more time,
Heaven ain't hard to find.

Turn around one more time.

Let's move the couch to the corner,

And the bed out of the way.

Let's crumple up the curtains,

Find new meanings to words,

Like sublime and intertwine.

My perfect portion of sin,

A fantasy so damn complete.

Take me further than these words

Ever could.  Down into the deep.

Move to me like the champa tree,

Rises to meet the burning breeze.

Fold me into sheets of secret parchment,

Fold me inside and squeeze.

My deliverance, my trial,

My moment of liquid languid ease.

My endless storm, my sinking ship,

The tossing tumult of my seas.

Let me see what piece of Eden,
You happen to be.

Let's create a new religion,

Bite every apple we see.

Let's pray a while together,

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Let's bring ourselves together,

From our foolish eyes,

To our penitent knees.
