the way you gasped for air
diving under the set of waves
timed too closely together
the gritty salvation of collapsing together on the shore

Falling in love is as
beautiful as watching
the sun shining on the rain
in Spring
An ineffable yearning,
Is serendipity,
A blissful sorrow,
Is not lucid.

Falling in love is  
picking shards of
broken glass knowing
you'll bleed,
Is a veritable tornado,
The eye of a hurricane
flattening everything in
it's path
And it doesn't abate


It's roller-coaster you must ride

Only to throw up after.
Jethro May 2014
Soft colors
gentle warmth
the sun's caress
words spoken with a smile
we open our doors
to the sound of laughter
And a song drifts on the wind

.
Others call it singing,
I call it just talking with style.
A cup half full or half empty?
Sometimes,
the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

is suicide really just killing yourself
or beating god,
at his own game

she's as mysterious as a faceless murmur,
like a goldfish in the pond, hiding amongst the fronds.
Am I desperately intrigued by you?
Am I trying to touch the fog?
Or are you the fog that will be nowhere to feign, when the sun will shine again?
Jethro Apr 2014
You know the feeling of knowing something is near?
Oh it just fills me with fear
Fear of how things could go wrong
Like how a tone deaf person sings a song
Despite all the mental preparation
And all the friendly persuasion
You still make me scared
Without even knowing
I cared.
