A quiet child in the backseat, with two lesbian mothers
A new age experiment with granola and ****
I can’t even edge my way into the conversation, I can’t even force it
I can’t understand why you leave so much empty space hanging around
I need someone to lessen the divide, someone I can see myself in

Someone who fills up all the space and doesn't care how
Someone who will feast and starve just to know the craving
Someone who wants a thrill, who wants to know all the ways we can feel
Someone who can match my steps as I walk home, no longer alone
Sharply aware of any creatures awake in the dark, because we’re one of them
With some kind of tropical taste in my mouth even in the dead of winter

I have the empty squares on the calendar to look forward to; I have time to find you.

Let's talk  about your dreams
Let's quilt a blanket for me.
So lovely to lay down inside
So warm to be wrapped up.

The colors your made up of
Shine on everything I see,
The difference between
What has happened
And what will be.

Grow me in your garden,
I'd love to sip your sunshine
To bloom and breathe.

Coming to pass
Is love, At last-
The footsteps of the future fast.

Drip your risk free
Down on me,
Cause I am always thirsty.

Have been digging day and night
To find your golden heart.
The splendor of it lit fires,
That never glowed before.

I can feel your features from far away,
And I can see it when you speak.
Always welcome beside me,
Within without around me.

I looked up at the night and saw the stars
All waltz down in a resigned unity
Falling slowly as if in a rain
Stars set in motion like ships in the sky
They were planets, dendrites
They took the shape of many things.
Disastrous, graceful, but I was unafraid.
I beheld an effigy. Endless, proud, and floating
Sheer and illuminated in the gleam of it all.

Stationed from my watch, I wondered.
I appraised my worth against this sight
Taken by the hand, I was pulled away
And realized  I am completely helpless.
Unimpassioned, I let the days melt away
Time stood still, but was all used up
I watched and watched, it was the end.

I could hear the bombs and feel the flashbacks
I was a fighter, but the battle was stale.
The moon was neon, teased and stretched like elastic
Bitter with the competition,
He was desperately pleading with me
Saying, go to bed.

Assuming its appreciated
I suffocate my intuitions,
And collect them all inside me.
All my thoughts, my little dolls,
I line in rows, and brush their hair.
And although love has proved unfair-
Purposefully, I continue.

I do believe it's worth the war.
Tumbling down my house of cards.
Allow him to forever triumph,
Because others come before me.
I could be flying upwards,
But instead, I sit back down.
For I'd rather never push away the wind.

Outside voices unearth crooked tones
They tell me: Foolish flower, trampled all over.
But I do believe it's worth the war.
Foolish flower, I may or may not be.

A man who drives like he’s mad
A mirage in the summer,
And a ghost in the winter.
The air is epileptic with heat
Going on like a rippling curtain
I let go, and reattach myself
I am here, maybe there
Somehow, I grew this bitterness
Ashamed I let myself submerge
Whole hearted and light headed
Into this handsome revolution.
My lips are a clean slate,
Perhaps I have returned.

With light feet, you trace the inside of your home
You forget that you are there to stay, and wander
You look up doll eyed, and wonder
Your head is so empty, completely floating
You lose yourself in the dreaming world.
You are so flighty, taken away on light a breeze
Your only aim in spoken by the heart
You know nothing of solid things
You have no idea of anything
You girl, you girl
Nothing is real in your world.
You've baked too long in the sun
Mind soaked too long in smoke
All is soft where you stay,
All is painted up and just to keep your concentration
You do nothing but feel and use your eyes.
All you can do is look, look, look,
Look on and smile, with a helpless little mind.

Why did you struggle,
Why did you push?
Thin stemmed ambitiousness
And white petal innocence
Arisen to bring hope to me,
As I wander on my midnight walk.
Walk until my legs sting with cold.
Walk to put some air back inside me.
I am seeking a thrilling happiness,
Or anything to set me on my way.
Walk to forget what disappoints me.
Peering in the windows,
Of homes warm and bright
Where people chat and laugh
In envy, I long to come inside.
I am seeking a thrilling happiness,
Or anything to set me on my way.

I don’t fuss
For once
I let the wind blow my hair away
I let myself look like a fool
I let my skin feel cold
And I enjoy it
Today, I am not in a hurry
For the first time
The rain touches me like a mother

It’s my last day for this race
I do not pull away from the night
I do not draw back from the moon
I let the world push on,
Push over me
Leave me
behind
