We inhale
.
   .
   We exhale
     .
     .
       We live
       .
         .
           We die
           .
           .
             We are but one grain of sand
                                                                 .
                                                                 Through an ocean of time.

smoke up

I want to smoke away all the memories of you
wrap them in my blunt and set them on fire
inhaling deep; then exhaling
letting them intoxicate me
before losing them to the atmosphere forever
never able to hurt me ever again

[freedom]

// they mean nothing to me now, may as well put them to good use //

Where Do Dreams Come From

We dream
the final moments
of someone else
who's forgotten
those very
thoughts

in them
reality lingers
fainting lights
are flattering
images of
the past

maybe
the very present
spreads like
lighting to
the sleepers
who do not see

perhaps
future becomes
slumbering
breaths: exhale
in the air
can you
see them..?

To a person that is obsessed with sleep and dreams. While not as detailed as usual, I mirror the filter most people see while they sleep.

CIGARETTE

YOU'RE LIKE A CIGARETTE
INTOXICATING TO INHALE
BUT ALL TOO EASY TO EXHALE

YOU'RE LIKE A CIGARETTE
EASY TO LIGHT
BUT EVEN EASIER TO PUT OUT

YOU'RE LIKE A CIGARETTE
I KNOW YOU’RE KILLING ME
BUT I STILL TAKE ANOTHER PUFF

YOU'RE LIKE A CIGARETTE
I’M A CHAIN SMOKER
& TONIGHT I CAN’T GET ENOUGH

// late night addictions //

Breathing

My heart may be black, and I may exhale corruption, but these scars aren't on my eyes.
This is only the introduction,
To where my future lies.

Breathing can be hard.

love is the matter-less air
*and sometimes we forget how much we need to breathe

i remember how much i love him more than i remember to eat

Night Garden

Flowers whisper your name,
A breath that hangs around my face.
I want to press my nose against you,
Inhale you deep, exhale your gold dust
To color a moonlit way with the essence.
Love has placed stepping stones, which we follow,
A path, leading into the bower of our night garden.

Breath

She covered her ears and focused on her deep breathing. The sound of her lungs expanding and the air leaving through her clenched teeth. Trying to drown out the sound of all of them screaming. The vile words echoing on the wooden floors of the house. She just wanted it all to stop. So she kept breathing, surrounding herself with the sound of the inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.

Just

Keep

*B r e a t h i n g

The storms haven't stopped yet.
