Float gently down on my soft lips
I know what you're here for
I am love and you've found me
playing an agonizing game of hide and seek
sometimes it's hard to tell who's doing what
but i know you want me and i want you too
time is fleeting and we don't have eternity
so just hold me tight and never let go
or we will be back to playing marco polo
i know i can be decieving but this is who i am
i'm the ring around your finger, the face in your mind, the laughter in their voice
i'm the empty bottle of alcohol, the picture frayed on the floor, the cuts on your wrist
i will cling to you better than the air you breath
so just sink into me with no care in the world
for death is my apprentice
she always follows close
i've taught her well and she never lets go
either lost or buried
she will take you away from me
she will make love to you at her place
like we used to
she will be your new love
however now is not her time
but time is fleeting so sink into me while you can,
because i know you want me and i want you too

My heart cracks and snaps
not like a twig but like the lightning outside your window
like a red chested belly flop
it climbs up my throat to the top
teeth gritting becomes it's cage
broken free it climbs on this page
now you take it greedily
....i was gunna give that to you anyway
now there's a cavity in my chest
with authority you grin and return the favor
inside my chest you heart sits with fervor
i'll lie and say that was a fair trade
because right now i got it made

I just want to spill my guts to you
let loose every withheld thought
just take a scalpel and carve into my brain
carnage will be wrought and blood will rain
as i empty my mind to you
or maybe not
maybe i'm afraid of what will splash on the page
demons let loose from their fleshy cage.
passion straight out of hell
perhaps ill end up being an empty shell
hollow as the house I sit in
running away from potential
my mind juggles hypothetics
to life we become impartial
"a brains look like hedge maze", and other ironics
in a poem its almost oxymoronic
in life it's just moronic

They want the fog to settle in our minds tonight
keep the right distance to keep us distracted
If we find their lies the'll simply be retracted
a sticky web of red tape
our hands are tied and ready for disposal
greed is running this train
while we're all out in the rain
Wool over my eyes men behind the curtain hide
laws seal my lips
cameras record my trips
they say this is for our protection
funny i don't remember telling YOU about my *******
on the phone, i will feign key words like "explosion" then book
chase me! i'm a goose!
maybe in my flight ill get out of this fog
fly above the clouds, see you for what you truly are.

Robust love from some soft sepulcher
it creeps up on us unawares
heart shard come hither
with us you will not wither
friends of old mold unified
time felt ghost pains
heart melt sky rains
Where were you when this all started?
Stefan Petersen Feb 2013
Pretenses shot down dead tonight
Not wasting time
I want to hold you tighter than the armor I wore for too long
I want to peel off your layers, clothes,
Get to your core, till you're sore
I want to lay each other bare
No concern with who you're supposed to be
Just be who you are with me
I want to run with you faster than our racing hearts
Till they give out old and cold
I want late night fights
Violent as a volcano
If only for the make up ***
I want to loose ourselves in each other
More comfortable than memory foam
Just lay outside amazed at how it feels so right
I want to spend hours in you eyes
More awe inspiring than Gogh's Stary Night
aurora borealis, radiant eclipse, in your eyes
Cake in the morning ice cream in the evening
I want to chart your skin
map it better than the back of my hand
navigate your curves as we curve the planet
As we embrace the night you make me want to see in the dark
As we run into the day you make me want to keep you to myself
As long as it's with you it's what I want, and I want it all.
