Skin |play>

the sea
like a blanket on the globe
she rolls on the beach to meet me
put my feet under and pull the blankets over
and let her mystery keep me

the waves wash away the pain
over and over again

so deep and heavy
so cold and yet so warm
her voice just keeps on going
the sea is forever 
as long as we will know
her silence just keeps on rolling

she is timeless
she is blood
she is the cycle
she is love
I remember gliding in a boat blown by the wind
sliding across your skin
on an island almost floating
resting in her hands
we'll eat coconuts, limes and clams

the waves away the shells
and turn them into bells

so beautiful you looked
with only the light of the moon
and your skin glowed with passion

something filled the air
a buzzing steady glow
the fire flickered as
the wind blew the ashes
