Twisting and Dancing
Consume and Control
Body to Body
Soul to Soul.

Flame and tinder
Catch and combust
Rise from the ashes and
Brush off the dust.

Mingling flickers
Destroy and create to
Fix what is broken;
Alter its state.

Beneath all that burns;
Unattainable goal
Sputtering fires and
Diminishing coals.

Body to Body
Hollow to Whole.

Go as far as you can...

...and then go a little further.
Even when you knees are knocking;
When your feet stain the earth-
Carry on.
It's not just about you anymore
It's the reason you're still moving
Even when the thought of another day is like
Acid in your veins.

It's that fleeting strike of lighting in your path.
That flash of something that just made you feel...
So alive.
In that moment of
Fear and wonder
You were more awake than you'd ever been in your life.
And you knew in that moment that you'd search everywhere
For that brief instant where
Beauty
Mingled with
Uncertainty. Reverence. Awe.

Never stop.
Keep that brilliant light within your reach.
Just within your grasp.
It's in every storm you'll chase.
It's waiting in the clouds of your daydreams,
Breathing in the stagnant thunderheads of the
Ending summer sky.

Within the rain, the silent song
The gentle beat, the soothing thrum,
I close my eyes to drift away
To find some peace, I cannot stay.
Sweetness and soft, through dreams I stray
In soft grey tones, the cloudy day.

I am falling in love
Even for someone as socially clueless as me
I can see the evident signs
Yet fate be so tragic
For we are separated by the oceans
So far, miles apart
I barely know what you look like
I don't think I care anymore

I finally met someone just like me
Its like we are telepathic
We feel the same about this world
Oh how I wish I lived near you

I love the way you think
I love the way you message me
I know it sounds rather peculiar
I too never thought it was possible to fall in the virtual cyberspace
Till I met you

70 million ways to
remind you why you
make my skin flutter
and heart crawl

but I couldn't even begin
to put into words,
as your eyes matched mine,
In level and intensity

and
With fear of the unknown
and equally the known,
with fervor,
with yearning
with despair

eyes ignited
eyes in stasis
bruised but widened

I'm
terribly sober
but intoxicated by you
and I can talk
and talk
when I'm intoxicated

70 millions things
I'm compelled to say
but I don't know
where to begin

I just can't
though believe me
when I tell you
that I want to

sometimes i wonder
if the world i live in
is one i made up in my head
that exists only for me

and if that’s true
i don’t mind
because the world i’ve created
is filled with madness
but the best madness i’ve created for myself
is you
