Blank screen
arises quickly
only to be
splattered with rage

Descending, defeated
there rises
another
blank and waiting

But no rage
this time
only love
is given to its canvas

And up it stays
shining
not defeat but acceptance
for what it shows

The warmth, it emanates
from the crevices of the cloud we sit
as my head turns to you
the soft guitar plugs away

Your profile, silhouetted
against the window rained
purple neon lights twinkle beyond
illuminating each separate drop

You look outside, eyes wide
the corner of your lips slowly rises
the mellow drums beat my heart
as it thumps with adoration

I’m reminded of our travels
I think about lying next to you
snuggling next to your warmth
and watching it fall, the purple rain

Breathe deeply for
tomorrow may only
bring terror

Exhale slowly for
you never know when
you need another breath

Collect your thoughts
before they leave
your memory

And live them
again and again
until the fear ceases

Sat on stools
Sit the sappy
Sipping coffee and
Starting conversations

Loud voices
Lap the place
Listing places
Lovers live

Typing keys
Tap the air
Trapping words and
Tracing emotion

Above all
Although abrupt
Aims the arrows of many
Across a sky of avery

As the clock ticks
The melancholic realization
Digs deeper
Into my flesh

Yet
You still laugh
Your voice
Soothing like water

And here I sit
An emptiness within
Without knowing
Why or how

But I see
The answer
In your touch
And your love

For you are
Always the answer
And you will always
Remedy my fears

Tomorrow brings
thoughts of the past
hopes for the future
but presently zilch

I try to be big
but sometimes I fall
and mostly it's hard
to stand up again

And my feet dig
into the ground
as my hands
crawl to the sky

And I make it out
but barely
for tomorrow
will soon be the present
