fearless tires kissing wet pavement
jokes exchanged between laughing dogs
street lights whispering secrets to severed sidewalks
applauding leaves appreciating the evening's entertainment
Lou Vaughn May 2015
My mind is clouded by clear and sunny days
they are for dreaming
I am truly awake during still dark nights
that transform into electrifying storms
I feel empowered by every blinding bolt of lightning
that seems to illuminate the entire world
for a few scattered seconds

There is no such thing as a "waste of time".
In other universes,
you have accomplished almost everything;
in this one,
you will accomplish everything else.
Lou Vaughn Mar 2015
If only I could have known you for 2 seconds,
I would have spent both of them kissing you.

bare trees seem to gather
along a purple fiery horizon
attentive and still
their envy turning from green to black
as they witness the sun's slow surrender
to the night's dark seduction
Lou Vaughn Feb 2015
I don't like easy,
and I don't get discouraged
when things don't go as planned.
I'm encouraged by struggle and motivated by fear.
Someday things will work out for me,
but when they do,
I am certain I will be very close to death.
Lou Vaughn Jan 2015
I had a dream about you...
We were standing in a garden
I gave you my evil eye
You gave me your Adam's apple
I took a bite and it tasted like forgiveness
My clothes were made of sin
Your boots were made of snakeskin
Paradise
