When two flames 

burn together, 

the fire grows

and glows

and gives light.
When two trees

grow together

the roots grow

and intertwine

and give life.

When two people 

love together

the flame burns too hot

the tree towers too tall.

"If you love something set it free"

So you know how heartbreak

Scalds the inside of your skin

and your sanity too.

The one you lost

will always be your

Burning Bush,

a deity

sending signs from a Heaven

far away.

I am and will always be

Dead in love with a smoking gun,

A man too smart to save himself

From a showdown with his mind.
Shots of whiskey

Fire him into a 

Spinning scuffle

That leaves no damage

But to his heart,

Unable to beat for anything

Other than his own thoughts.

Summer brings
Such evil things
That tear me away from you

Love Is
Seeing that scowl on your forehead
That signifies a soft secret in your mind
I would never know
but you always
Whisper in my ear
When we're rolling around in crumpled sheets

The future of us is inside me
But your vision is thick in the past
A dogma of cyclical knots
Not only in the sinews of your spine
But the thread of our sky.
Terror to float then crash
Onto the cracked ice
You know so well

I wonder if I lived in a submarine, if I'd feel like I was a part of the ocean.
I wonder if I know that I am a part of a world of perfection swimming in the waves of your sheets.
We never explore more than each other's shores.
The cold water's a sensation.

When I bit your lip
And a single moan
Escaped your mouth
When you pressed your lips
Against my spine
I couldn’t remember
What was yours or mine

Words cannot do justice
Those moments when I know
That you and I
Are a you and I
