I want to paint you poems full of fire, you who I do not know Now my mind is tested with love which twists and wavers from side to side and which some day soon you may see I want you to cascade through ten thousand rainbows with me and dredge mount ains from the sea: you who I now begin to know But emotion is pent up inside, too scared of dying again to live, and meanwhile I must endure your red-copper hair screaming like a water-baby black eyes stare from my ceiling: you who I now truly know Now I cannot see too clearly and already my trellis stands bare How can I break free of these overclinging arms which entwine and enfold me? And reach to the clear blue sea? I want you to know, but how can I tell you? I want you to see but my o wn eyes are blind The Octopus now enfolds me, I know you too well LyricsKeeper
