Stop The Silence
by Kate Demeree
Rake a nail across my skin
So that I, may feel alive again
Place on my trembling finger tips
Warmth from your softly parted lips
Peel from me this webbed cocoon
Steeped with silence, this seeming tomb
Part these folds of false tranquility
Stir my passion, set me free 09/02/2004 Posted on 09/02/2004

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 09/03/04 at 04:37 AM It is so important to feel alive... to feel anything. Sometimes it takes a rake of the nails to kick us into becoming engaged. Movement is life. Great read. |

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 09/08/04 at 09:28 PM given that you are such a warm and loving and expressive person, how could one turn deaf ear upon such a reasonable request as to be set free, given they had such power or the mere fact of keys. |

Pe4ce... |
