Like Red

Something carnal, something true

Something ancient belonging to you.

Something human, something whole

Something tethered to my soul.

More than a vision, more than a fire

More than dreams infested with desire.

More than a purpose, more than a plan

More to hold than I can stand.

Red like timeless love, red like blood

Red like youth’s eternal bud.

Red like hunger, red like a halt

Red like the mystery of the occult.

I sought feeling, it sought freedom

I sought solace, it sought Eden

I sought power, it sought a leader

I sought strength and now I need her.
