Through the window of Main Street the workers tend to the streets keeping them clear. In the pouring rain, through the snow Diligently working and always on the go. Grooming our domain without complaint Inconspicuous to the rushed passers-by who are glued to those dumb-smart devices, might as well be sewn to their hand So many overworked and underpaid, slaving away just for minimum wage. Everyone desperate to get laid Coping mechanisms to ignore the insesant anxiety mental instability accumulating every day.

Street sweepers
He smells of the musty and comfort aroma of smoke. It's not like any other aroma as it is from the desert. A desert filled with life and death held in suspended animation of blissful peace. Where life and death ebb in harmony and all the city's societal woes drift from the mind The smoke that transports me to fields of sage and burning wood.

Sage dreams
Lavender blush bursting at the seams to make our anxious Minds calm. Urging to put it down that guilty pleasure, head home to cast off the restraints constricting your air. Do you remember what the Earth feels like on bare feet? To bury them deep letting them sleep in to your heart soaking in that lavender field. Sinking into the unadulterated Purity it gives me such ease to the Calamity of the city life. A sense of security in the chaos. These cells of mine can finally feed on clean air. Don't make me go back to ******* poison through a straw. Torturing me and making us ill. I'm trapped inside a mental prison and my body cannot handle this claustrophobic glass case that is being filled to the brim. Set it ablaze so the ashes may fall like snow and give way to New Life so that we may nurture and care for what we have destroyed. To have a second chance

Lavender blush
How does one placate and extinguish the fire of love The passion that has burned from embers of coals to uncontrollable englufing flames. These flames once made a home for you To Nestle in the warmth like a dragon in it's hearth The flames need air and so to do I when smothered they turn to ash just as we both have That warmth and flame has shifted every so slowly to a heat that starts to burn. It hurts It hurts your body constricting and tightening. Stealing breath from your lungs. ******* tears from your eyes that would make pools of salty shapes. For those who walk by the trample through Love you have fueled me like the food in my belly Love you have burned me Charring the flesh of mine from nape to navel turning the elesticity of skin into indistinguishable matter. As the fire reaches it's timeline of life we must not try and revive it. It has lived it life and had it's time Nothing could replace the value of that fire of love But fires do go out and we must be be the fire master of our own fire. Tending to ourselves and feeding our souls fire because that is the one fire that must never be let to dwindle and extinguish

Embers and flames
As I wipe the lingering dreams from my eyes They're pierced by the light, radiating energy into every object that falls into its spotlight. Filling the land with vigor, a gentle shake taking you away to the Suns dimension Stealing you from the Romantic escapades of the Moon. As you leave it steals a kiss or two urging you to return again tonight. You'll start to warm by the blinding love of the Sun. Heat rising from your toes to the top of your head. The air crisp sharp shocking your lungs, a comforting sensation As the new dew Drops glissen, so do you. There are many realms in which to dance through twirling and twisting between what cannot be seen. These realms are ever spinning Carousels in which you can dismount ‎and return at will. But each time you do the song the atmosphere changes.

Dawn
In the stages between friends and something more Is unstable and unsure Every interest, possibility Comes with an Expiration date on the bottom Weather by fate or just being the wrong mate Im continuing my search Sifting through the endless faces and hearts Following the traces Looking for the stars in your eyes Maybe we shall meet in the ether You will find me floating around Mars, weightless and spiraling into the darkness I'll see you there

Ethereal meetings
Jumping from world to world Land to land Surrounded by millions of drones but standing alone I spoke and no one understood They spoke and I was equally confused Stop Translating, It doesn't compute Through games of charade and mime like games The ball is rolling and I yearn to learn and enhance these words from a foreign land. An appetite for new faces and special places where my eyes can gorge themselves upon   Unique words and different herds Getting past this shyness I have always possessed Earning this backbone and confidence I speak without falter nothing hindering me now I am a land rover and jumper Winter, Spring, Fall, or Summer You can't stop me now I feel the electricity and sheer power of the world as it is changing myself and all around me Now I am internalizing it all I'm riding these International winds To places I have never been Let's see where I will end up next

Riding the Wind
Cold showers on Hot days Laying naked in this Indian haze As beads of sweat glide down my cheek I hope I black out, so that I might sleep, to drift me off to a better place Through the debris of outer space Floating through the nebulae Searching for someone to connect retinae Igniting that spark we all yearn to find Both body, soul, and mind   A connection that feels prehistoric Searching for that one human that makes us feel euphoric

Mirage
My cheeks betray me They lie to everyone all the time Why? I've only had two glasses of wine They turn a rosy color and stay awhile "Awe that's so cute" **** that I wish they stop I find it quite vile Either my cheeks or my eyes betray me nonstop I don't like being able to be read so easily There is more to me than what you see My eyes betray me, if you look real close Screaming about what really is Thankfully most seem to miss this But ever I would fall in love those eyes will be my downfall Yelling about my true feelings Not being able to hide I fear for that day That my own eyes condemn me

The eyes
Again it's pouring in Switzerland The sounds of wet footsteps hitting the pavement I am starting to feel something once again So I'll extend my hand and shake it in achievement just to realize I have no hand to shake So here I stand in the pouring rain only just to notice the inclined plane
