My eyes
What color
Do tell me more

My family
Where from
Do tell me more

The weather
How cold
Do tell me more

Colors
My favorite?
Do tell me more

One thing I must know
Love me
Don't say...

Outside in the fall
Leaves coat the ground in their brown vestment
The moon likes to settle in
Slightly earlier this time of year
Nuzzling itself amongst the foggy looming clouds

Missing our old weather
Had barely been here but 3 months
I miss the warmth
But look forward to the empowering melting glow
of the furnace
Heating every inch of every bone
Till you rest your weary eyes and rest

Down to the ground
Surrounded in sound
A cocoon of love if you will
Swirling around
Caressing me ever so softly

The chill no longer lingers
As I lay and melt
Encased in woolen comforter goodness
Envisioning my dream in front my eyes
The adrenaline rushing
Blood pumping faster than life

In and out of my euphoric utopia
Senses heightened beyond reality
Is this even real?
Perhaps not
But then what...

Sometimes I sit and wonder why
At certain points I cannot cry
Like the time great-grandma died
I just could not, I tried and tried

Hers, the life, they did take
The six foot hole they did make
You'd think my soul, it would shake
There's something wrong, did I break?

Street light
Ominous fog
Sirens

Television crews
Yellow tape
Camera flash

Liquid
Arizona Tea

Drip
More
Blood

Hate
Death
Crime

Stop.

You know not what is to be held true
And no words are available to tell you
That the clean, sharp, precise cut that you are
Is the rarest of all the lands

Not one to dangle from a chain
Or garnish on a hilt
Not one to be hid away
But one to be on display

In the case I'll take you
Where ever I go
To show you off, but not to gloat
My shining diamond for now and for long

Turn around
Bring it down from the top shelf please
It's not heavy, you're fine
Bring it here now
That's right...
Easy now
Turn around
Put your hands over your ears now
There you go, nice and tight
Close your eyes
(Gun clicks)
Now run
Don't ever turn around
I'll be waiting for you
