Bubbles of Time
Naomi Mendenhall Sep 2012
Clouds cover my eyes
and smoke drips from my lips
as I lay down to wake

the thoughts flitting through my mind
as my body floats in a bubble of time

stuck, as everything else
flys swiftly by

like a fish in a tank
my own bubbles of thought
floating up from my lips
I stare in wonder
At the noiseless sound
And thoughtless stares
Of no one there

I close my eyes
And my dreams are stolen from me
In a daze I do not know

I run from the darkness
And hide in the light
And cower from the wishes at my fingertips
And the smiles on my wrists.

As my body floats through this daze
My eyes shut tight in this bubble of mine
I **** the smoke back from my lips
And take another hit.

Double Dare
Naomi Mendenhall Sep 2012
Lowered lashes
daring you to want more
a drop of feeling
falls down from the sky
splattering stars across his nose

lines of body
molding to one
as the sun awakes

that flash of a smile
makes your heart beat faster
as the fire ignites
and your fingers spark

with lightning in your veins
the feeling lingers
that soft sensation
a butterfly's kiss

the sun sinks
and the moon's silver light shows truth
highlighting the darker details
you remember the future
and love the past

what is more
when all is what you have?

— The End —
