Bound



  I am earth bound
   and you are my capturer,
  like a firefly sealed in a glass lantern,
  my light is sure to fade.

  And when my eyes are sewn shut
   with eternal cold
  and my bones are no longer alive with warmth
  you will keep me a shrine
   still under glass
  so my ashes can not blow freely within the ever changing  
   wind.

  Oh, how can love grow under such conditions
   like primroses trying to be born
  in solid crystal snow,
  there roots held prisoner in the frozen earth.
  I shall never be truly freed to love wholly and purely,
  my roots remain planted in the dark of your eyes.

  Break the glass with your gentle touch,
   melt the snow with your flame,
and you shall see such treasures
  as no seeker has ever found.
You shall find a sweet seduction
  more luscious than the ripest fruit.

  Set me free
  and I will fly straight to your waiting arms...
