i'd like to expand your consciousness darling tell me how to accomplish this dwelling in sheer confidence where existence can't seem to conquer it a look of pure astonishment pronouncing every consonant your words fail to reach my grip as they melt off your tongue and lips.

cotton-mouth
I time my heartbeat to the rhythm of the wind
 Sometimes I dwell in the storm just to become soaked by the rain 
 But usually I yearn for the sun and the associations of ultraviolet rays 
Change is evident in the weather 
 But amplified with electricity 
 Between the cracks in my ribs
 I hit the water like cement but rush to the bottom
 And then I propel through the air with euphoric vibration
 All within the duration of one song that I can’t seem to stop humming

biography
I suppose the records on your wall Clash with my destructive habits And the lopsided smile on your face Disagrees with my nervous antics. The red hot burning in your head Repels my clenched fists And your frequent shift of thought Catalyzes my weak-willed fits. Though I know we could agree That you only regret the poison Once it's burning your throat.

poison
We met at the crossroads of transition and vulnerability I ached for attention Your words worked toxically Now you're in my bones Which are splintered by reality You're drowning yourself And also me simultaneously

Unfinished
You're just my cup of tea And though you scorch my mouth You warm my achy bones To a degree at which I don't even realize That my senses-- Have gone numb.

Bones
The children with dirt all on their sleeves Are rolling contraptions of crushed up leaves "Didn't you hear, he passed out again?" Said they wanted to grow like dad and mom, Now they can't walk they're so far gone "Haven't even turned 18 yet" And war was but a game kids would play Now it burns inside him each awful day "He said he didn't want to wake up anymore" We all giggled the time they nearly kissed But we stare in silence at lines on her wrist "She gave him everything" One is in cuffs, one's on the brink, One took too many over the sink "What happened to the kids we used to be?"

The Cruelties of Growing Up
Visions of light waves do not suit me And your groups of smirks make me uneasy I'd rather light candles deep in seclusion Or spin with my mind until I am queasy Your shoes are fine but I'd never buy There are no backroads in my book I've never been quite dulled to understand The admiration of masses in just one look Maybe perhaps I am a cube A simplistic shape of many dimensions And maybe perhaps you are too Two cubes coexisting with separate intentions

Cube
You're the wind And I'm the pinwheel You like to see me spin When I stop You fix me up Until I twirl again I can't help The way I turn The cycles that I take But you're a force You've got a say And sometime you say "break" Now it's clear For me to function I need but one gust So tell me why I'm on this shelf Just collecting dust.

Pinwheel
There's a fire in your eyes And then mine caught flame And as it burned for miles We knew we'd never be the same We'd watch the world go by From our seats right on the moon And you took me by surprise Whispering "They'll all be stardust soon" And as we venture in to Mars Sweaty palms at the unknown You say that the millions of stars Make you feel like you're alone We're so small in the grand scheme of things Insignificant explorers after black holes disguised as dreams But all in all, we'll still hope to conquer Saturn's rings Insignificant explorers jumping in to black holes disguised as dreams

Pleasantly And Galactically Consumed
"I want to feel an earthquake," You whispered. And your eyes were full of spirit, And I swear I almost didn't recognize you. "What a thrill." A flash of danger In your face My heartbeat increased As a cold bony hand Gripped mine. I was so scared. "Let's find one," I replied.
