INNER FREE
smoky eyes that swirl and flow
caress the mind alluring calling
whisper me I yearn to know
a secret that may stop me falling
failing hands
mad dreams pursue
the smell is sweet
the taste is new
imprisoned lie
released is true
my tangled heart
still longs for you
hidden seeds in evergreen
in darkened woods she's hiding waiting
forbidden deeds though never seen
the inner free intoxicating
dancing flames
in nightly view
entwine the mind
with spirit too
brittle flesh
just passing through
cast as glass
i sail to you
