Swords and Roses Nov 2015
I plunge into fantasy to forget I have a reality
Swords and Roses Nov 2015
ice and fire at once
fat rain washing over me
lying on the ground
soft or hard, no way to tell
everything becomes nothing
Swords and Roses Nov 2015
two upturned corners
crinkling, sparkling, gentle eyes
shoulders perking up
puffed up cheeks lightly pinking
body curled up and stretched out

when you reappear in the sky, my soul is regrown
shoot an arrow straight to my heart, many nights
spent under the stars in this moonlit purple dome
steam runs off our skin, while the heat waves rise
running together in this exhilarating light, over the stones
that cut our feet. I don't miss home. (Who would have known?)
We do not stand alone.

All the fun of the fair they say
So cry you will
Upon the hill of bleakness and despair
