Distant songs turn
Into cacophonous melodies
Pretty, how shadows
Swirl onto dance floors
I haven't met you before
But would you dance
Dance away another year
Of wasted ink
Dance till our bodies
Succumb to that rythm,
And shall our brains
No longer clutch our heart
Inside this shrine to hatred
We profess to so often,
Beside the inhibitions
Leading me past freedom
Away from poison
Putting me to sleep.

Till midnight
I'll be Love.
Incandescent,
I'll be you tonight.
I'll be dew
Settled upon a grassblade
I'll be red, crimson
Fearless.
10 seconds of Cinderella
Before this magic strays.
I'll be the facade
To your masquerade.

Remember me
Beneath the fireworks
A fluid silhouette
Capering away
To the starlit yonder
Sans the penumbra
I latch onto for comfort.

Wake up.
Unfurling in that castle of mind
Is a memory,
An eclectic ephemera.
A flat stone
On ocean floors
Bounce, splash, ripple
Gone.
