*The queen of my heart was born* *In a wooden shack in the suburbs* *A wooden shack with a tin roof* *On hotly disputed* *Ground* *Her eyes are two flames* *That burn in sluggish protracted* *Passion* *Wood burns and tin melts* *All across the known world* *Her hair has a voice* *Which in dark whisper* *Sings* *Unknown, enveloped in darkness* *She burns in motionless* *Riot* *I asked: "What is your banner?"* *She said: "I am silence of your silence"* *I found her cabin in flames* *Women's and children's cries rose* *Crucified* *In dark lurid stark air* *We all saw it* *Without tears* *In a night* *Like every night* *Wood burns and tin melts* *All across the known world* *Our skin feels like hot ground* *And our dreams are shacks cracked* *And demolished* *The truth is hidden* *Like an illicite love* *You bit my lips* *And we erupted* *What a strange eery night* *It is as if* *In your eyes* *I could see right through* *Whistling shadows* *Into a world to come*

And here we have in LOVE SONG a passion baptized in fire so hot and spirit so deep that the singer and the song and the one for whom it is sung fuse together into a splendid flow of revelation and grace. An exceptional work from an exceptional pen.

Love for a nation and a people in struggle burdens the heart of deep souled humans more than love of one mate. Your words are a mystic wind. ~~Nordette
