the ripples of smoke emanating from your cherry kissed lips make me want to become a smoker (will it look that beautiful in my lungs?)

and you appear like dew in the morning when your eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep (you still look handsome as ever, though)

your gravity is pulling on my bones and i can't find a more perfect shade of blue than in your eyes

it's like i'm underwater (my breathing has never been so still) and you make even drowning seem peaceful

i can't let go of your spirit but merely accept it's presence in my veins

you're bruising my bloodstream, but i want you to stay

That look you give me is like the light at the end of the tunnel that we all talk about.
That end
That finish line
The light I see is not an end at all
It's the beginning of something beautiful
Like a flower seed being planted in my soul
Waiting to be doused by your love
So that it can bloom
Ill wait forever forever for that look
For that one chance to have it all
All being you.

It's liquid midnight bottled in blue,
iridescent sparkles shining through.
It's thick twisting syrup in the sky
layers of secrets underneath lie.

It's hopes and fears battered and bruised,
mystery and madness interfused.
It's between planes-- beautiful and ethereal,
scars of kings taste as imperial.

It's honey dripping from an imaginary comb,
sweet sadness echoing through a suspicious tome.
It's a hot mess of sprinting thoughts,
pain and excitement in empty blots.

It's both extremities in duality,
a crippled fantasy bathed in reality.

The alarm goes off!
You jump up and realize you're late!
No time to get pretty...
you find the cloths that smell the least like dead animals and throw them on then you fly out the door!

Oh crap!
you forgot your keys!

You've locked yourself out of your house so you luckily go through an open window.
You've got your keys and you go to your car.  

You make it to the parking lot just in time and you rush to the door to fast to notice no one else is there.
You jar on the door and it's locked.

Oh wait,
it's Saturday.
Having to much fun thinking about this one.

we tell ourselves that
comedy is tragedy plus time
but we don't have the time
or patience for perspective.

there's only tragedy, the walls
are caving in, and laughter
left us with the breeze like salt
poured down our open wounds

hiding from the air
and breathing flames.
take my hand, there's nothing
but the waves.
