A kind of blue lay
thick over her,
swallowing mouthfuls of suffocation
and drowning in nourishment. It's times like these
when the person you are today
doubts if they can reinvent themselves in time
for tomorrow. Blue is everywhere
like your perspective is bruised
and it feels like hell.

The familiar grip of apathy
makes everything foreign
and you're wilting under water like
some kind of mutant...

Observing people talk with an unrestrained
fluidness is enchanting and why doesn't
your erratic behaviour include something useful
in its repertoire? You swallow things that burn
but spit it out again because
all the nerves in your system left you
for a love affair less volatile.

This kind of blue is fickle. Its melancholy
in a heartbeat. It makes you lie awake
in bed until the sheets have lost the warmth
of your empty touch, examine heartbreak like
its a specimen of a scientific experiment. It makes
you hyper aware of nostalgia at 3am. It takes your
breath away and clouds your eyes with an absent minded
look. It's a surge of sorrow and a burst of hope
unceasingly whispering in your ear...

Someone's talking but you're not listening. The world's
troubles are rippling through you, and
this kind of blue makes you silent.
This kind of blue is you.
summer makes me sensitive.

I don't know what is worse:
Happy moments that can't be experienced again, or
The tragic memories we can't forget.

I wanna kiss you, & her & her & the freaky one.
Back
raising wall
closing door
earth won't keep us
longer more

sun will burn
out one day
turn ashes' urn
our earthly way

but much before
what could happen
we burn her more
than earth can gain

drip by drip
we bleed her dry
go on trip
for a home in sky

if pause to think
how come this need
we're on brink
for endless greed

distrust and fight
waning smiles
can things be bright
out billion miles?

I've been told it's wonderful,
Heart-warming even.
I've been told it's life affirming
And justifying.
I've been told there's nothing quite like it.

I've seen it be satiating,
Captivating, fulfilling.
I've seen it be gratifying,
Empowering, and completing.

But I've known it to be bitter and toxic.
I've felt the sorrow and pangs of grief it bears.
I've touched the darkness that hides on its other side.
And I know it be as dangerous as it is lovely.

Yet we can't live without it, eh?
For without it, life is just a little too dull,
And the hole, a little too large in our soul...



But no, no man can survive without love.
