My face and your face tenderly renewed..

i got kissed by a turtle dove
upon a cold Paris manger
i was waking up to my love,
first moment dawning danger

everything was new
every sock and shoe
my face and your face tenderly renewed

i awoke to find a whiteness inside
everything did shine, slyly, from each body
halos from within, diamonds the year in
as we crossed to where the virgin mary moves over the fields
here and there, she kneels
sighing sweet relief upon the prairie

everything was new
every sock and shoe
my face and your face tenderly renewed

as the rich winds blow,
kiss each flamingo,
tussle reckless trains of the wild white horses
and at night the owl streaks the field and howls
She seizes a kitten,
stops wind aghast to hear them shudder

everything was new
every sock and shoe
my face and your face tenderly renewed

The Lake

Sunday, March 1, 2009

In youth's spring, it was my lot
To haunt of the wide earth a spot
To which I could not love the less
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound
And the tall trees that towered around

But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot as upon all
And the wind would pass me by
In its stilly melody

My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake
My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake

Yet that terror was not fright
But a tremulous delight
And a feeling undefined
Springing from a darkened mind
Death was in that poisoned wave
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his dark imagining
Whose wildering though could even make
An Eden of that dim lake

But when the night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot as upon all
And the wind would pass me by
In its stilly melody

My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake
My infant spirit would awake
To the terror of the lone lake

Springing from a darkened mind
So lovely was the loneliness
In youth's spring, it was my lot
In its stilly melody
An Eden of that dim lake
An Eden of that dim lake
Lone, lone, lonely...

I am a bird now

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

I am a bird girl now
I've got my heart
Here in my hands now
I've been searching
For my wings some time
I'm gonna be born
Into soon the sky
'Cause I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls go to heaven
I'm a bird girl
And the bird girls can fly
Bird girls can fly

"Bird gehrl"
Antony and the Johnsons
from the album "I am a bird now"
