Take that off...
Take that off, you don’t need it
There’s just one thing that you need
And you won’t find it hiding in that
Darkness that you breathe
My tongue can trace a dewy line
Over that flesh you wear
And send shivers down your spine
As the moment strips you bare
If the aching was insipid
We could walk away right now
But move into this effigy
I cannot take a bow
Remembrance will occur
It’s the reason I’m partaking
When you sink into this partition
It’s not truth that I’m forsaking
I offer you abandonment
I offer you release
Take that off, you don’t need it
There’s just one thing that you need
There’s just one thing that you need
And you won’t find it hiding in that
Darkness that you breathe
My tongue can trace a dewy line
Over that flesh you wear
And send shivers down your spine
As the moment strips you bare
If the aching was insipid
We could walk away right now
But move into this effigy
I cannot take a bow
Remembrance will occur
It’s the reason I’m partaking
When you sink into this partition
It’s not truth that I’m forsaking
I offer you abandonment
I offer you release
Take that off, you don’t need it
There’s just one thing that you need

Aurore,
Your last stanza is killer. Brought it all home nicely. Enjoyed.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh. Your growing into a butterfly in here. Just keep busting out of your cacoon. Kudos
