Creature

Take me into your carved embrace Creature, creature craving space Tongue tied and cold and your eyes of stone I'm merely a fool having missed it by now Take me into your hiding place Shadowed bird in a paper cage A paper wall to block the sight Stealing the view of the first daylight Take me onto your stage of gold Like a fool I fear what I do not know And creature dear you could do without The silence which hangs a weight from your mouth Take me into your darkness deep Where do you rest while your body sleeps? Darling dear, we have yet to find The way to bring out the child in your mind.
