last night i drank a bottle of wine
for no particular reason
other than i wanted it

i cried

i blame that on the wine
but maybe it was
something that i needed to do

i laughed

i blame that on the wine
as i hadn't laughed in awhile
or maybe it was the show i was watching

dream of birds flying through oceans
and of whales drifting through stars
go to surf alongside rainbows
cast a fishing net around mars

hold hands with your best friends
as you dance in the rain
swim down into cotton candy
watch the colors soak and stain

please sing songs about life
and play music too loud
let your mind forever wander
as imagination gathers round

Sitting in an airport terminal surrounded by faces
yet I am alone
My bright blue carry on is the only color in sight
Out the window, planes and boxes stack and line up. Soldiers marching.
In the window, there's a story.
One I can't tell but my reflection shouts
When I smile, she'll frown.
And as I fly off into the clouds
she'll be running and dragging behind
trying to catch up
Maybe if I fly high enough
Maybe if I fly fast enough
Maybe if I fly far enough
She won't catch up.

Your lips tasted like wine-
or at least I think
safe here at home-
or at least I think
Did we kiss?
I don't know?
Did he bite you?
I don't know?
Was there force?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Then what? What do you know? What did you see?
I saw the back of my eyelids. I saw the space between stars. All that I know is that I don't.

You are strong
You sat there broken
crying
staring
at a ***** habit
and you didn't indulge
You are strong

Even the devil was once an angel

Tears shed
For a minute
Dropped to the floor
Flowers and thorns sprung from the tile
To wrap themselves around the door
Spread
Up
Down
Around
Thicker and thicker
Rebuilding a beautiful
Vibrant
Impenetrable
Wall
Try finding your way in now my dear
