i took my lover on a journey today

down into the pit of my personal hell

we went there hand-in-hand

 

 

 

 

 

 

i did not want her to go down there with me

but she insisted    which is her way

 

 

 

 

 

 

she tasted the greenbrown noi$e inside

but she was not afraid

it was only i    who wanted to sleep

 

 

 

 

 

so many    my bitter tears

dulling    c h o k i n g     n  d  g

yet she clasped me to her breast

 

 

 

 

 

 

she would not leave me there alone

to fight this nameless beast

 

 

 

 

 

speak its name   she whispered into my ear

then it has no more power

speak its name out loud my lover   dear womanmine

 

 

 

then lengthen your stride and increase your pace

and walk with me hand-in-hand

forever lover   dear lionessmine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with no more fears
