champagne is sweeter
in the car
with you and orange juice

spring- or is it summer
either way
upstairs they're getting warm

burning lips
and burning throats
this courage has some fire.

driving by the airplane field
I wish we'd take flight
So tired of grounded motion.

(Written when I was in high school in '07. Published in "Graffiti")

completely, completely irrisistable
completely, completely unattainable
and so it seems, I'm in love with the dream
and wondering "what if?" is so much more
promising than what actually is.

so, she'll laugh, and she'll joke
and she'll drink, and she'll smoke
elegantly blowing out every thought
and imperfection with each drag.

and nicotine can't be a lover
of this, we all know is true
but when a cigarette is the only
thing holding your hand....

there's no room to wish it was you.

(A poem I wrote when I was 17 in high school. So, keep that in mind. ;) Poem was published in "Graffiti" 2005)

Let's destroy each other.
'cause we're too cool for love lines,
soft kisses over cheap wine.

smoke me baby like your last cigrette,
whisper to me, say you'll never forget.
could you break my heart a little more?
shove my body up against yours
& kiss me like you mean it?

anything worth a taste
burns as it goes down.

could you tell me I'm so Audrey Hepburn
when my hair falls to the side?
& say Girl, I'm not here to love you tender,
I'm just here for the ride.
Let's blind ourselves by love
& be deaf to all who say it's fatal.
It's not that we don't know,
It's just that we don't care.
