When Malindy sings Book

Love go to my heart straight
beat beat
alive and more alive
oh time before words
and i can still remember
each touch
all every bit tenderness
only one pain
a cry to make it be
always endless bliss
- pg. 1

inside dark rooms
no one sees wounds
raw open quiet places
where love leaves
no trace of remembered bliss
and no one hears
my heart calling
do not forsake me
one more time
- pg. 17
* * *

hold on
take my hand
let go
one the ride
race you down
hill up hill
dust on dirt road
clinging
let me follow you
anyplace
in love
there is no end
we are glory
everywhere
in nature
a paradise surrounds us
wild tenderness
take hold
loose and let
our spirits soar
- pg. 29

my heart is burning
in this house
where i dreamed
in the dark
my deepest dreams
shrouded desire in shadows
places the dead used to know
upstairs long
little bed low
quilts from hand-me-downs
curtains hung with faded lace
the smell of tobacco
nightshade and morning cool
this scent love's memory
everything broken and on fire
- pg. 35

dark midnight
roaming
seeking a
shoot-and-cut passion
a death
to wound and bind us
the assassin's testimony
i had to kill
to lay bare
the heart
i had to kill
to let go
hold on
be still
eliminate love's trace
- pg. 41

even though
she knows
a terrorist comes
she can bear witness
can tell you by now
we have been
together
our bodies
spying on your love
on naked hands
as they move to touch her
and make her over
another woman
marked by the embrace
of a man
known to leave scars
- pg. 63
