You give a whole new meaning to sheet music.

She bottled New York like a firefly
Tossed it away into the Atlantic
The neon made it's way to
this castaway of a place
And just for a moment
this heart of mine could hear
the sound of the trains one last time

And with the window went the frame,
The pictures of the past years
flew from the exhibits they slept in
Everything from you to the attic
boxed itself in cardboard
And the road lay before us.
The south was resting her sleepy eyes
in the backseat while the rest
of us became mid winter chimneys.
And somewhere between
lexington and Baton Rouge
I forgave myself of my past
Tupelo Sep 2016
I ran my hands across my ribcage
Like there were strings between my bones.
That if my fingers plucked the right ones
The music would flow up to my throat
So that with every exhale, a chorus would
Escape from the peaks of my lips.
And that just maybe the song that played
Would make its way to another heart
Still willing to listen to the rain.
Tupelo Sep 2016
I don't care for the birds unless they sing
those tunes from back when I held a women
So dear that our hearts were a metronome for the bees.

You are a walking smile
You think too much with your fists
You ask me for advice some days
And some days you choose to listen
I miss you and that city we grew up in
I hope it don't swallow you too.
Stay safe brother.

**** a love poem
Or those love to **** poems
I don't care about my heart
Or the desires in my bones
This is neither of those.
I met a woman last night
With a laugh that sounded like spring,
Eyes that smiled when she blinked
And the allure of a goddess.
I've never known such charm
But ******* you made me come alive
And every single person there that evening
Felt the same way
