I wanted to take your face in my hands and kiss you on the mouth

At the funeral

There was a quake in the place where love demands to be noticed and found out

Making you beautiful

I turned myself away from you in shame

Wanting these sensations to go back from where they came

When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze

She said sex is the opposite of death

It's alright child it's natural it's wild

It's just the life force and you can use it

You won't abuse it Enjoy yourself she said

Take my husband to bed



I couldn't keep my mind on the preacher standing by the casket

Where she lay

I couldn't weep entwined like some creature with a wish and I ask it

Please go away

Shock and grief follow death

And I feel guilty that I still draw breath

When the Maid of the Seas whispered to me in the breeze

She said sex is the opposite of death

It's the rule it's natural stay cool

It's just the life force you gotta love it

You're not above it Enjoy yourself she said

Take my husband to bed
