crickets serenading the crows to sleep
trees send out calls to one another on the wind
rustling branches
what a masterpiece the stars make
nestled in the spun navy blue of the night sky
fawns and deer scream to one another
grunt warnings and snort dry grass
baby bunnies chirp to distant moms
being chased by auburn tailed foxes
the frogs try and calm their throats of the
incessant pockets of air that erupt from their
stomachs
the moon's veil casts lacy shadows on the leaves
filling the gaps in the branches
white moonwashed asphalt sparks with diamonds
the sun trying to break the barrier of darkness
pushing and bulging over the horizon with a pop
hazy pink lemonade spills over the edges of
distance mountain ranges
orange Starbursts melt on the tips of the crows' claws
lavender wax seeps around the sleeping bunnies
still chirping in their shortening sleep
the stardust that fell during the night
sparkles like dew on the blades of grass
and floats like fairies through the
apple juice air
thick and warm cinnamon roll clouds
roll by in the liquid gold sky
the scent of cherry pie and toast every morning
in the summer
and the scent of honeydew melon
with bamboo extract right before
dusk.

it's amazing how the light is vastly different from morning to night
in the morning it is warm and pink, orange, red
at night it is cool and blue, purple, green
and everytime i see sunrises i think of
the ones we could have shared together
and when i see sunsets i think of
the ones we sat down for
i never thought i would fall asleep in anyone's arms
but yours
i guess it's the small things i shouldn't have taken for granted

did you know that when we were together
i didn't feel inferior to you
when you held my hand or brushed against my arm
i didn't feel inferior to you
did you know that when i saw you
i didn't feel afraid of anything
when you held my gaze
i didn't feel afraid of anything
did you know that when you kissed me
i felt beautiful
when you laughed
i felt beautiful
did you know that when we were together
i didn't feel alone
i didn't feel alone

magic kingdom
magic castle
tomorrow land was yesterday
fantasyland full of
peter pan and cinderella
NASA rockets
towering giants
risky space
I licked space ice
cream from a
dip n' dots
anti-gravity cup
sailed the stars
of a projection
screen
the beach was quite
beachy
peachy
bright sand
hot sun
freezing pacific
specific ocean
seagulls laughing
diving swooping
snatching
shells underfoot
washed up
****** back
cloudy
salty
H2O
crusty wind
blowing wind
ocean wind
ron jon's
surf's up
beach babes

Went to Orlando, Florida for 5 days for a band trip. Had more fun than I ever have.

what
if the reason
people are attracted
to each other is because we were once together
as atoms as elements, as stars? What if we once belonged to each other
in our souls and we can feel it? Because I must have been
scattered across the universe in order to feel for so
many people. You were my first love, always
will be. Did                                   you feel it
too?

We kissed to The 1975
Tangled in the bed comforter
I can still feel my lips around your tongue
You hand on my leg
Kneading it with contained need
My fingers brushed your belt buckle
I drew away and rested it on your hip
Your knee was between my legs
My thigh was between yours
Good thing your room was cold
I could feel my cheeks getting red and hot
My lipstick wore off on your neck
Around the bruises I left
Afterwards we just laid there and breathed
In
Out
In
Out
Inhaling each others exhale
We are going to do great things
You kissed the raspberry sorbet off of my worn mouth
Then led me out to my car
Smiled
And melted my heart
I hung out all day with my babe. I'm kind of nervous for the results of this poem....

i find myself eating with the thought in mind of how it will feel coming up
i find myself staring at the toilet when i go to the bathroom
wishing i had the guts to do something about it
what a pun
