i'd like to expand your consciousness
darling tell me how to accomplish this
dwelling in sheer confidence
where existence can't seem to conquer it
a look of pure astonishment
pronouncing every consonant
your words fail to reach my grip
as they melt off your tongue and lips.

I time my heartbeat to the rhythm of the wind

Sometimes I dwell in the storm just to become soaked by the rain 

But usually I yearn for the sun and the associations of ultraviolet rays

Change is evident in the weather 

But amplified with electricity 

Between the cracks in my ribs

I hit the water like cement but rush to the bottom

And then I propel through the air with euphoric vibration

All within the duration of one song that I can’t seem to stop humming

I suppose the records on your wall
Clash with my destructive habits
And the lopsided smile on your face
Disagrees with my nervous antics.

The red hot burning in your head
Repels my clenched fists
And your frequent shift of thought
Catalyzes my weak-willed fits.

Though I know we could agree
That you only regret the poison
Once it's burning your throat.

We met at the crossroads of transition and vulnerability
I ached for attention
Your words worked toxically
Now you're in my bones
Which are splintered by reality
You're drowning yourself
And also me simultaneously

You're just my cup of tea
And though you scorch my mouth
You warm my achy bones
To a degree at which
I don't even realize
That my senses--
Have gone numb.

The children with dirt all on their sleeves
Are rolling contraptions of crushed up leaves

"Didn't you hear, he passed out again?"

Said they wanted to grow like dad and mom,
Now they can't walk they're so far gone

"Haven't even turned 18 yet"

And war was but a game kids would play
Now it burns inside him each awful day

"He said he didn't want to wake up anymore"

We all giggled the time they nearly kissed
But we stare in silence at lines on her wrist

"She gave him everything"

One is in cuffs, one's on the brink,
One took too many over the sink

*"What happened to the kids we used to be?"
It's funny how years change us.

Visions of light waves do not suit me
And your groups of smirks make me uneasy
I'd rather light candles deep in seclusion
Or spin with my mind until I am queasy
Your shoes are fine but I'd never buy
There are no backroads in my book
I've never been quite dulled to understand
The admiration of masses in just one look
Maybe perhaps I am a cube
A simplistic shape of many dimensions
And maybe perhaps you are too
Two cubes coexisting with separate intentions
