Dear Friend

I'm with you in Rockland

The house is frozen
The silence crying out
The ether is broken
The heathen is devout 

A floor that tells a tale
Rug misshapen and moved
A knife that tore the vail
Blood runs still and removed 

A cup lies empty and fallen
Betrayed of glugs and sips 
A love that died in silence 
Upon these cold lips.

Rain smacks the haunted window 
Wind rushes warmth away.
Food still cooks and crisps, by looks
Whilst all the while you lay.

You look up at the beam
The wood so old and strong
Dead but just so rested
As to hold the house so long.
Hard to be so passive 
Let all rest on you in trust
When weight holds you heavy
And will fall to slight adjust. 

A heavy hue of nothing
Pulls and strips and rips
The air now pressing harsh and hard
Upon these cold lips

A fire burns in bitterness 
Snapping at the sight
Of all that has befallen 
This dark and dreadful night.
I bend to reach lower
Now falling, bereft of mind 
To view in flickered half-light
The shell you leave behind

I hold these hands in mine
And place them on my hips
Through weep and woe I kiss and kiss
Upon these cold lips.

08/23/24 HUGE amount of gratitude for all the re-posts, likes, and comments.
This means the world to me.
Another cut off my album - this one due in distribution Sept 12 but here it is early. It is very nerve racking for me whenever I post, if you want to know the truth, but no point in holding on to these tracks any longer.  They are what they are and I did the best I could.
A bit about this song...
I toyed with the main melody/chord progression for a while and then an argument with a loved one really solidified for me what the song would be about, which fueled the lyrics.  Writing this song helped me to put things into perspective.

Lyrics:
Here I am again,  heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when,  I’ll ever,  understand
Maybe never maybe now I’ll see myself,  and all that I’ve become

Is it me out there,  seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,  it lets me down, every time
Right before my eyes,  he keeps me warm, a kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  he gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  and you flow with me
We make our wars,  but we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  and you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love,  even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel,  so hard to feel

He gives me love and a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you,  and you flow with me
We make our wars,  but we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  and you can flow with me
We know there’s love,  even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love,  he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  he gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

Lady of Fire Poetry original poem by yours truly, Tanisha Jackland aka Lady of Fire Poetry

"You are comprised of 84 minerals, 23 Elements, and 8 gallons of water spread across 38 trillion cells.
You have been built up from nothing but the spare parts of the Earth you have consumed according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix, and small enough to be carried by a sperm.
You are recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf fur, and shark teeth, broken down to their smallest parts and rebuilt into our planet’s most complex living thing.
You are not living on Earth. You are Earth."
