My thoughts transpire
my true desires,
focus is dire.
I feel higher
than the Empire
State Building
heart singing,
soul gleaming,
love streaming.
This is the only place
that you'll find me dreaming.

The water in the glass is clear as a pool
It cools my throat in relief
I have been dying of thirst
Without even knowing
What it is like to drink water
Playing in puddles of mud and moss
I never thought to search for higher ground
Keeping like a child
Stuck on the earth's surface
Feet planted on the sticky stuck
When the discovery of the body of water
Led me to clean out my bucket of shells
In this cave from which water is falling from Wilderness'
Fresh water springs from his mouth
Nothing tastes cleaner than that

Emotions are pure.
Intentions are true.

As eyes wander,
my heart flutters.

Can you not feel?
Can you not see?

My heart still palpitates,
soul still anticipates.

But feelings are already far
and I am now barred.

For you are with another
and mine no longer.

I will not fall to my knees and beg for your attention, but I'll gladly get on them and show you some of mine.
Literally had this line running through my head so I figured I'd share.

the dress is lying still
on her hips
but not at rest
a tight caress
that stalks in wait
proxy to the prey
black widow web?

Theoretically, there's a web of different possibilities with specific steps that could answer every adversity in life; however, those answers are rarely ever known. Sometimes we make choices with good intentions that we think is for the best and often wonder if we could have somehow handled that better. Maybe a part of life is learning that we'll never get to know those answers. We just keep putting ourselves out there, hoping for the best.

Then one day I'll meet someone
Who grins at the ground
And knits their eyebrows the way you did
When you didn't know what to do.
I'll be thrown forcefully back
To when you tossed me lightly
With the sweetest of intentions
And the warmest of smiles.
I'll smile sweetly,
Warm my intent
And stay the hell away from them.
