You transformed my freckled neck 
Into a strawberry field
 Last night Transplanting puckered lips Into planting pink rosy kisses Across my skin And down my chest Like Cherry blossom petals that
 We picked 
Because we   Just don't believe that they could be Anything more That how they feel right now Its too inconceivable for us Its too contrived   
 I mean Its like Trying to grow candy apple love In greenhouses Or just houses 
 Painted green With synthetic sunbeams And pesticide ridden wishing seeds Planted with high doses of expectations And fertilized by things like Movie Scripted Kissing in the rain
 And all the other high fructose corn-syrup cliches That only let you come down When your brain washed loving Is washed from lusting Trusting only the sunlight Rising in the morning On a clear day Because thats when you can see Whats real and fake But it doesn't matter
 Because we just don't believe in things like that Its to synthetic For starry eyes filled with falling satellites When its still too cold for sunshine So we Just believe in things like Twisting our tongues 
for the fun Of seeing How quickly we come undone When we touch And breathing 
Out then in and in again Breathing uneven breathes Into each others mouths To feel what its like To come to life Then let it go again And we always Always Color outside The rib cage lines 
(and heres why) Because ribs Keep people out of our hearts And cages Keep us out of their And lines God **** 
Lines are for strictly straight people Who can only see one side to everything And everyone Knows Rules were meant to be broken And lines were meant to be crossed 
Cross eyed Crooked teeth
 That can never be bent back straight Or scraped pearly clean of Imperfection Because they are already In perfection Everyone is just too blinded From staring into the sun To see it right now But tonight Tonight We are two crooked lines In a foreign vineyards of twisted grape vines 
Fermenting into a wine sweeter than our lips And we fit Together Like two broken puzzle pieces That wont ever complete each other And you know what That's ok You are not my missing piece And I am not yours Because we are not Puzzles We are people And puzzles are just broken paintings To be put back together And we are not broken There’s no completion left
 To who we are We are infinite Never ending in our potential Never lacking in what's essential All we are doing is adding colors To each other And tonight You color me inside out Crossing every line on my skin With you paint brush lips Like strawberry red rows of Red wine Dipped lips Planting painted Red lipstick kisses In each others mouths The way Sweet-bay Magnolia petals Are pictured in puddles When they look down Seeing their own refection And letting themselves fall Getting bruised by the gravel We are each both petals and pavement When we fall into each other Tonight And I remember one night A while ago We found an old telescope Made out of plastic With this incredibly inaccurate scope That focused in sudden little jults And it took us forever to find the moon But when we did And zoomed in With one eye squinted You Looked up To the night sky And I Have never seen anything like 
The way the moon filled your eyes with stars After you peered into each others faces
 All the way across the atmospheric dimension Sendings whispered apprehensions  
 Of a pretentious existences into each others eyes Every line had a wink at the end And every wink had A sly smile in between the chimney and the roof So heres a little truth Sometimes I wish that we Could telescope each others sunsets And find our own sunrises in each others eyes Behind every blink Orbiting 
Fixed fastly to this axis Through outer space time lapsing Across boarder lines Even though 
I know We already beam every time we see each other Like spring sunshine on icicles dripping drops down to Oil spilled rainbows 
We bowed our selves 
From the glowing belly Of our laughter induced paintings Coloring waves of light Overlapping though space
 Traveling Faster than the speed of sound In our own directions But our travels are soundly set To inter-exist in this second And I dont want to let go yet But I will Because we cant believe in things like this It too much risk  to trust the Daffodils blooming in the brisk Frosty March mornings Between bits of icy earth So we pick them And put them in little jars with stones In our kitchen And smile every time we walk by I dont even really know why actually I guess They are just so pretty And they smell nice too Right next to the stems of The white cherry blossoms Which bend across our wooden window sill Next to our sudsy little sink And we know That they wont grow anymore After this That this is their only glimmer Of existence So we hold them close But time alway slip through our finger tips Letting go Of what we cant hold on to Pulled farther apart And I havent seen you 
In a while The other night 
I tried to telescope your eyes Across boarded boarder lines But I couldn't find you in the skies And the moon only winked in my direction Leaving me 
To plant wishing seeds 
In the ashes of 
 Every wished on fallen satellite I could find Grown In green houses
 When its still to cold for sunshine On a clear day I still wish That maybe After You’ve cleared away all the dead daffodils From our dusty windowsill And planted a orchard of candy apples In the ribs of your new lover
 That it will still make you smile Every time you see Sweet-bay magnolia petals bruised by gravel And it reminds you of me                                     The End.
