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.
