Mar 2017
Like a gentle breeze, the debonair smile passes by
Catching songbirds, and turning the world upside down
The maids are magnetized by the radiance
And the deference is deafening

How lofty a goal, to savor salivation from dry lips
Wringing hands, pacing along an avenue of softened hearts
Where the needle of the compass points
To fixed eyes watching a fractured dream

A blatant kiss, erupting from temporary insanity
Suddenly sour, and suddenly skewed by history
And as the vacancy dimly glows
Withered words spill from cotton mouths

A subsiding fever, starved by ghosts of the heart
Catching songbirds, but freeing the song stored far within
*What was a cataclysm to a silver soul
Is just a drop of morning dew to the world
This poem is about the constant ebb and flow of how we interact with each other, the way that giving becomes taking, the way that we retreat to our comforts, the reasons behind why we desire things we cannot possibly possess.
