*Like the eye of a tornado She's calm but empty inside Can she take a swallow Of your pretty little mind Could she barrow your eyes So she can see from the other side The places you have been While she reads your mind And possibly be able to tell What it is that you see When you look at this strange girl, A sea-vessel in a shell is she Her eyes are made from stars Her skin is the ocean's sand Her words are messages in bottles Her thoughts spread paper thin A little dove from liquid love With wings that float above The star-less, moon-lit night As soft as a feather's touch Dream a little dream What a wishful thing to do Awakened with eyes shut tight Perhaps curiosity holds the clue Soft-spoken in silence By lips of the intangible Words carved from sentences Make feelings appear more manageable A soul search and dive Hoping to reconnect The dots that take align And hold the secrets of the sky Mysteries and reveries Paint the canvas of the brain Maybe a flightless bird Is the best she's ever been Weaving intentions in the constellations As patience sets the pace Who will be her saving grace? A fireproof love To set ablaze She wants to draw a love song With the collection of her madness A picture of beauty, hope, truth, and logic A soft brush painting with colors of magic*

**Sea-Vessel in a Shell**

This one could definitely go for some good critiquing. I enjoy my concepts, but they are are a little scattered, and i almost feel like i went off on two different ideas, but hopefully you get the jest of it. Thanks! :)
