A Night in the Sleepless Mind

The paint on the walls have started to melt

dragging all the the colors I painted, down.

Drooping like my body in this heat.

The weatherman informs me of no change anytime soon.

As the summer creeps up from behind

and kisses my winter body.

Leaving me in a shock of goosebumps.

This feels so un natural

in the heat you made me feel.

 

My heart jumped at the sound of your voice

and flew at the hope of your sight.

Now it falls like an anchor entering the sea

hitting harder than the sand ever felt.

Everything jumped down

hoping to catch it.

 

We danced to many serenades

in the colorful ballroom of day dreams.

The queen of the night, you are.

 

Now the old wallpaper screeches

with high pitched misguides.

I had no intention of them revealing themselves so soon.

 

Based on a thought

will be the death of me.

 

Take my hand and come with me.

My sun could light your storm

and your storm would cool my sun.
