Tumbling, stumbling,
shifting skies.
Dont want to be seen,
so i close my eyes.
Contemplating,
ease of pain,
too much to lose,
nothing to gain.

Circumstances quickly change,
again the puzzle re-arranged.
Hard to breathe,
my mind does wonder.
I'd stop and cry,
but I'd go under,

Ease my inner conscience pains
unwanted thoughts,
binding chains.
Moving mountains,
hypnotic trance.
Compose myself,
deep breath,
last chance.

When every sound
          becomes silent
and my eyes
        become useless,

You'll
find me
going
mad.

by Arcassin Burnham




the stars couldnt keep me away from embrace,
i love your face,
i love your face,
so when they tried to throw shade,
i hit escape,
i hit escape,
And if you share the same feeling of desperation,
i ignore you,
i ignore you,
trying to find my light years in location,
i confront you,
i confront you,
i may have made mistakes in my life,
this ones the worst,
this ones the worst,
Not trying to avoid you i just had to set it right,
but you did it first,
but you did it first,

i dont wanna fall in love,
not now,
not ever,
put your insecurities behind,
and try to see it clearer,
make your feelings roll over,
do a summer sult,
then backflip,
take your problems out on somebody else,
go take a galactic cruise ship,
astro girl you are delusional,
your begging for forgiveness,
did you forget the golden rule,
there should be no sign of weakness,
i dont wanna fall in love,
just like you dont see a dentist,
that galaxy breath is melting my face,
i can not take it.

I'm floating in the clouds
i am that i am
There's nothing or no one only the space i breathe in.
i'm feeding good-byes
i am that i am
not purposely of course but a clouds a cloud i stay the course.
i'm believing in blue
i am that i am
I've seen the darkest nights, yet blue always shines through.
you want a kiss good-bye
i won't that i won't
to torture the world without your presence as if i stole the stars from the sky.
you belong with me
you do that you do
feel free to fly with me, un-grounded by me, loved by me, driven by me, enough about me. I'm on one knee, i question thee "come float with me"; a clouds only as good as the sky it bleeds.
you can be the sun, I'll be the clouds
the sky can be the motive, lets make our world smile.

let it not be confused
let no one else's name
ring throughout these sentences
let this be a hatchet
let me put this to rest
this is not a test
i don't want to think
about shipwrecks anymore
i am tired of folding apologies
into origami birds
and placing them
at the headstones to your tantrums
this is not is not geology class
these are promises
written on razorblades
      & if you are getting choked up
        then maybe you should be
maybe we should be buried
with our telescopes face down
my mouth is full of sorry
all for being honest
we are falling out of orbit
we are burning bystanders
so cast away your callous condolences
because no one is clapping
in this waist deep water
this is not a baptism
so do not tell strangers
that this was a chance to drown
any differently
i am not a catalogue
of constellations you cannot name
this is not mythology
so stop believing your horoscope
i am not a wishing well
i am just a wall for you
to paint post nuclear fallout & antonyms for catharsis on
we destroy the things
that are not ours-
the wanton ways
we embody wrecking *****
and then cry over the rubble
this is not a heap or a mosaic
this is leaping
off a thousand story building
with no one to catch you
at the bottom & maybe
that's why some quiet moments
are so fragile, maybe that's why butterflies have mimicry
your words are black powder
and poetry is your musketry
i guess that makes me your blindfold

it's 6 a.m. and i haven't slept yet
i'm laying here thinking of you
how you smell
the way you look after a long day
the way it would feel having you next to me
your breath brushing against my ear as you whisper things that are far from secret but we pretend that we're the only ones who know
your hand resting on my thigh;
innocently and then not-so-innocently as we lay
your eyes locked on mine and mine scrolling up and down your body from the top of your head to the soles of your feet not letting a single detail go unnoticed or unappreciated
i feel the good vibrations bouncing off of your body and enveloping me,
your personality electrifying,
sending tingles up my spine
i'd walk on pins and needles to please you
but instead you make life a crystal stair
i've spent years as a contractor,
building walls as great as the one in China
yet you broke them done as if we were in Berlin
you find my vices tolerable
and i find your bad habits admirable
