Keep spinning

Strangers are my best friends

Even feelings are for even people... Know anyone who matches that description?

I'd like to cuddle away the problems

**** someone while crying

No

I don't think so

I want to be felt and loved. And craved like fluent chocolate gushing

Down the corners of my mouth

Lapped up by your tongue

I wish

 

Scratched letters over a blank canvas

Make for messages of clarity.

Nails on a chalk board every time you etch, but its the promise of the next word that makes it tolerable.

These pick-up-stick letters are angry and depressed but fit together like bread on butter. creamy song lyrics you scribble but there’s no tune.

An obstacle foreseen and ignored.

The rhythm of voice catches, flame to syncopation, and feebly you grow with your words to become the song

 

Sung now, in churches

Do they realize from whence their hymns originated? Deep down, long ago, in the valley of hidden emotional pangs

Your envy was too rich for your body

Yet big enough for this... congregational ritual.

Heart tears are beautiful for creation

To existence

They're treacherous

 

I smile and admire my work

Blow a smoke ring over the wet words not quite solidified on the page

Smudge

Better with a flaw

I don't smoke

Im a social stress smoker

Self diagnosed

Self medicated

So you see I'm an aspiring artist

Although most of my works are **** I don't really give up.

Its just this part of me I can’t always explain

That happens

They’re my impulse of choice

A painting, a drawing, a poem, a song, dance, all music (save country).

Even little quick thoughts or plans I have are peaceful to record.

It's times like this night where I should really be fast in my REM cycle, dreaming of crazy scenarios to **** up and uncover a truth upon my waking.

But I'm on my notes

Typing away the babble of nonsense thats streaming on demand

Tonight

I'll exit with a line

Or so, I'm not sure

Breathe in the plant, puff out love hits and over expose the motion picture. Each passing present memory is precious to the cycle I don't really want to define.

But I'm in love with its inhabitants I can't get over them

And each day is another episode

But... Is this a sitcom, or a documentary?

These words, are time filled

 

Cold feet shouldn't be a thing.
