Ascension...

ASCENSION

step outside your skin, my lover...

escape with me from the troubles of our flesh

in time, we've grown weak and weary...

and our feet won't travel where we're going.

strip away our tattered robes like that of a snake

then release our energy into a vast, dream-like world

let our colors collide, our stars unite...

forming constellations of our own

you and me... into the infinite cosmos

choosing planets on which to play

racing one another to them like children

like comets skipping through the universe

nothing man-made exists here...

only love, stardust and our secret desires...

we choose what our wishes will be

on limitless, countless shooting stars

we control the atmosphere and quicken time...

let's plant a seed on the moon and watch it grow

and bask under its' soothing shade

you whisper images with your words

and I'll paint pictures with my stories

lyrics soon coming together...

as our heavenly bodies intertwine

it's sex on a grander scale... cosmic

creating melodic sounds pulsing into the galaxy

like that of an orchestra... erotic echoes

between worlds we've yet to discover

we press together like footprints

in an endless garden of many fruits

juices flowing... pushing between our toes

taking on the nectar of the Gods...

pressing harder, creating a supernova

that soon drifts us into a death-like sleep

blanketed by the stars... resting upon the moon

cradled into each other's arms...

warmer than the sun...

we slip into the same dream... dreaming...

that we may never go back into our skin again.
