Live deeply

Bring me your heart,
I'll serve it on a platter.
Show me your wings,
I'll pluck your feathers.

Lift the cover off your soul,
I'll help you soar.

Smile at me in the dark,
I won't see you.
Share with me your pain.
I'll watch you slice it open.

Give me your words,
let them flow.
Give me your hand,
show me your heart.

Lift the cover off your soul,
I'll help you soar.

Listen to my words,
let them flow.
Drip juice from honeyed lips.
Kiss me golden in the sun.

You can't know the Shades,
writhe forth from darkness.
Savour the moment's marrow
with every sense.

Lift the cover off your soul,
I'll help you soar.

Grave this moment 
in your memory,
for when it's gone,
it's gone.

Lift the cover off your soul,
I'll help you soar.
