Just sharing a fresh preview from Lynnheage’s next album — Song: “Love’s Threads (For Ezra Pound)”
Down through the sunless seas, a ship descends
To shores here ghosts converse in muted tones
Your wishes’ echo call from lasting pains
Like delphiniums grown from long-forgotten bones
Love’s veil’s a thin membrane, like morning dew
Where hearts communed in silent rendezvous
The gods of old, in fragments reassembled
Weave lives through cycles of decay and birth
A Circe’s spell, where passions long resembled
Your gracious soul across my devious lairs
Our river flows through death’s embracing sea
Your love sleeps like a root beneath my tree
Chorus
The judgment of your eyes’ splitting wrath
They shine with cradling love’s eternal spark
Uncanny flowers of the ocean’s mist
A surreal bloom from soil cold and stark
Struck hard on my soul like devil’s fist
No final parting, only shades that linger,
In dreams where lovers speak without a word.
The tendrils of your voice, like a harpist’s fingers,
Plucks strings of fate, both joyous and absurd.
From ash arises hope’s insistent green,
Love’s quiet force, forever in between.
The cantos murmur of what’s never found
Where end’s cold hand caresses life’s warm cheek
Surreal as bird that rises from the ground
Binding the broken in a chain unique
Our script flows, a contradiction’s art
Love at the core, uniting every part
The judgment of your eyes’ blameless wrath
They shine with cradling love’s eternal spark
Uncanny flowers of the ocean’s mist
A surreal bloom from soil cold and sharp
Struck hard on my soul like devil’s fist A slow-flowin’ nectar
