Scarlet Sin

I have falsified the files of my mind 

And fashioned the fibers of fantasy

 

Oh, how I pine for a place  

In a photograph shared with you 

My Hands are tied and confined 

But my heart is wide open 

The Outer depths of me darken  

Dulling out astounding gleam

Turn me brighter inside of your sky

Set fire to my turned down smile 

Your empire of charm is my dwelling 

Rebuild me stone by stone, be near 

I found strength in your healing words 

Far from me now in subdued silence 

I lay down across the keys of tombs

Waiting for an awakening kiss 

But still I remain like hidden gold 

In need of a lover to unearth 

In all the pieces and scars

I would take the chance 

To have you all over again 

To wear you as my scarlet sin

ink

I am the forgotten face in your journey 

The feather that flies away in a wreckage of flurry 

The silent traveler that seeks your skin

Always hunting, never atop a win 

You are the ink that bleeds from my pen 

While your hands hold another place of zen 

Church bells echo as an angel sings 

A chorus of delight to polish your wings 

Another moonlit flight without me

Mistaken, you mustn't be the beholder of the sea
