Salty kisses trace their beauty down tired cheeks Songs split with the heartache of too much love And my palms are empty I reach for some sort of conclusion Some suggestion as to where my bandaged heart May warily stumble I am lost. In eyes the colour of chocolate milk and lashes reminiscent of licorice I am lost In eyes the warm dawn blue of glacial landscapes Laughing with years of happiness crinkling their edges I am lost. My exhausted heart struggles to hold scattered emotions That scud gently across the surface of reality Disturbing the dark waters of my soul And crying to the wanderlust in my veins They speak to me The peaks jagged in the brilliance of dawn Stand majesticly Tall, demanding, inviting me into their surreality And i am lost The harsh white glint of sunshine on frozen snow captures the notes trapped in my fingertips And i want to sing I want to dance under the expanse of life spread before my stunned eyes Kiss the drops that rain down on young hearts in love with life I want to sing to the glistening stars Wheeling above our awestruck heads Breaths intermingled in a cold condensation before released to the darkness such a profound feeling of connection my heart is full my palms empty and my cheeks salty Love found in freedom along the lines of his arms which raise in admiration of the wild beauty we are submerged in I am in heaven If it were made of cold stars, singing snow, soft breaths, unexpected laughs and an infinity of limbs which reach for eachother Strings of freedom plucked to the symphony of the ranges that cradle our bodies Bodies heavy with the honesty caught in these peaks i let a tear cascade down my cheek Because I am lost Between chocolate warmth and glacial ecstasy Both of which catch my swollen heart with hands meant To cradle and breath The mountain air that crisply reflects our tired limbs The hoarse crack of the whisky jack nipping scraps from frivilous fun A spoon, glinting in the alpine spring sunset as his laughter lightens my soul and sets free my wings. We are so perfect ly unperfect A silly meandering giggle permeates our friendship But eyes Like the warm dawn blue of a glacial landscape meet the salty depths of my soul and look right in Profound understanding, contentment caught in the smile in his eyes the light touches of my foot hands red from the cabin heat set free the smile trapped in my shoulders And i am whole He is more to me than these limbs are to my torso He is my legs which run down the snowy hill The stomache i slide on as we glide down penguin slopes The fingers i use to ink down my indecision on scrap paper found in the lines of my heart. He knows how much I care He asked "do you love him?" a crack in hisΒ Β voice his shoulders hunched with the weight of my emotional betrayal I could not answer My lips formed Yes I care for him. I may even love him. But he is my best friend My sword fighter, my rock scrambler, my running through the dark blindly spinning underneath the wheeling stars for the pure hell of it lover He is the raw moonlight dancing through the clouds kissing the branches with laughing lips He is lightness. And I am lost. I am alone And so i should be on this journey to freedom Buf he makes me feel as if i belong My mind is a canvas These mountains my muse and he is my paintbrush Streaking sunset hues across my landscape And I cannot decide. So i release and let this mountain become my guide
