You can’t cut this tension
You can’t burn it down
All your little hopes
Are shreds on the ground
You took the jump, heart and soul
A
Single
Moment of
Ecstasy,
You lost control

Here lies your remains:
Torn up resolutions
Scattered pale dreams
Bloodied little schemes
Like a child’s ragged doll
Dirtied in the street
Stomped on by
A thousand people’s feet

Taking some time to think and sit
When all the world is in a fit
I came out today to soak up the sun
******* my feet, their cages came undone
I sat in the cool grass letting the time pass
Winter is nearly over and
The snow no longer blankets the earth
But a clover blanket lasts
The birds today are busy, but so is the grass
This singular blade so still and quiet
Working, taking in the sun
A creation all too unsung
This photosynthetic piece of wonder
Without you, my life would be asunder

Crushed in inebriation
Just one glace to trigger my elation
Dancing in the sunlight
Figures dull and bright
Racing pulse, shaking hands
Explosive loss of coordination
Lost to my intoxication
Drinking you in,
Just drinking you in

Dappled sunlight filters in
Late afternoon meanders by
Absorbing my thoughts,
They filter through
And I am dozing,
Warm and cozy
In my bed of grass
And time just passes,
Never rushing once to fly.

I am the host of your viral nature
Infected and subjugated
You have climbed inside of me
Completely unabated
Left to run your course

Your tentacles leeching out
Sapping my strength
Invading all I am
My very soul,
Wanes under your control
My veins collapse in protest
Screaming for release
A broken plea
Escapes my lips
A dying wish,
A hopeful reprieve
What else can I do?
I am so powerless against you

I’ve always felt this way
Living near you everyday
Once I saw you my fate was sealed
Visions of you were so surreal
Each barrier you broke through, but
You never noticed me
Out in the rain, this
Umbrella was for you.

Your eyes are my spies
Spilling your secrets
Unearthing what you never say
Revealing your thoughts
You say that they betray
But I would be lost without them
You would remain such a mystery
But with your eyes I see.
