This is for you, it is the slate blue sky before sunset,
I have no one else to give it to,
But it is not really mine, to give to you just yet.

This for you, a sky full of stars, and moon over the briny ocean toss,
If you were not, the aim and focus of my affectations,
Here lie with me softly on the solid rock with the bed of moss.

This is for you, I need you more,  than you need me,
Je t'adore, une fois pour toutes,
I imagine more, about you then, the time I spend with us, see?

i should really
stop shop-lifting.

i stole fake eyelashes
for a friend
as a present
from riteaid
because i didn't have any money
and i wanted to make her smile

i stole
a tiny pink dress
with polka-dotted ruffles
for my cat
because it was really cute
and...
**** walmart

and then i stole
a ****
full of sparkles
tonight
because sparkles
make me smile
and i have had a hard time smiling
lately
It's hard to describe this sights that I see.
But I'll   give it my best to put them verbally
The ocean you see holds such mystery
Each grain of sand is a TIMELINED memory

Blowing through the misty wind, finding somewhere to land
Sits by my palms and sieve through my hands

Just remember the heart in the sky
Will rise in the east and set in the west.
And when it feels like my eyes will give
Ill stay up all night, no need for rest
By dawn The Lord will give me reason to live.

It can't capture murals of us in the crashing waves
Thousands of colors only paintings
Can phrase
Disregarded from the keen eyes that are there
Souls like the stagnant summer air.

As I think of what I need
The coastal crests recedes
And when I think of what I want
It's lost throughout the ocean front

Don't worry, just stay at ease
The sun will set in the west and rise in the east

So don't let your eyes begin to give
Cause someone will bring you reason to live
Life's such a mystery
Each grain of sand, a TIMELINED memory
A ten minute drive
To a place that I love.
Be thankful your alive and thank the good lord above .
Not many people travel deep to its place.
Get lost from society without a trace.
All you need is a pole and a little bit of faith
In hope of some fish will nibble your bait

My bobber dips and dangles my line
as the sun rays reflect off the water and shine
A strike of a bass has hit up my hope
Making it hard to contain and cope

Some fish  all day for the one to take home
But I'll wait longer for the one that is unseen
And when yours crumbles mine will be chrome
She swim through my heart with pure sanguine

For some it is hard to find what is fond
For silly young Adam, it's fish in a pond
