#engulf
Flowed, the stillness,
Flamed, the sinfulness,
Engulfed, the holiness,
Edged, the tenderness,
Lulled, the illness
Leaned, the lightness
Surged, the doubtlessness,
Sparkled, the wilderness,
Colored, the coldness,
Collided, the casualness,
Tamed, the loneliness,
Torched, the goodness,
Dumped, the steadiness,
Drifted, the faintness,
Bloomed, the apartness,
Burned, the angleness,
had I housed pieces of music
of salvation in depth
of constellation in paradise.
of darkness, of thee.

I wish you’d love me like I love you
A great fire within me burns for you
Something that’s never fully satisfied…
I listen to your song recommendations to understand you better
But it’s still not enough
I want to be engulfed by you

And she lay, draped across her bed letting her own chaos engulf her till she had drowned in it all.

Engulf me in love,
Break me in half,
Only once-more,
Only encore,

A purple berried
White flowered ****
With intricate petals
Placed in pairs of three
Has spread its roots
Deep into my heart
Branched into both halves
Of my brain
I watch it grow in awe,
As the leaves
Branch symmetrically
Simultaneously wince in agony
As the roots
Are tearing through
The very soil
In which they grew
Do I rip out this
Uninvited beauty
And leave myself
Scarred
Or do I
Let it flourish
And eventually
Engulf my being.

she walks into an abyss.
the light slowly fades -
she barely notices.
she starts to run
as her breathing quickens.
she claws at the abyss,
hoping for a way out.
she hears a voice,
soft yet secure,
that guides her.
the light appears as
she takes small steps.
she keeps walking
until the light engulfs her.
she is free.

The cold, dark sky spreads
Threatening to engulf the world below
The trees and forest disappear in gloomy shreds
As the sun's rays fail to show
Shadows stretch into hills and valleys
Oceans and rivers grow freezing and black
Darkness continues to rally
In a pattern impossible to track
Under the blanket of the night sky
The earth is cold and still
Bushes, plants and flowers wilt and die
In the shade the world has willed

please do not smother me
smothering implies force
it implies suppression
aggression
oppression
Or asphyxiation
it is something not being wanted
instead engulf me in your love
let me be immersed in it
cradle me in it
Coddle me
shelter me
let me breathe
So i can appreciate it
and feel it all around me
that makes it so much better
ever so soft
ever so loving
ever so gentle
I understand why you want to smother
i do
but you’re somebody
you’re important
You’re love is important
the best thing you can give along with your time.
It’s valuable,
so you shouldn’t give it if it is not unwanted
even to me
Or at least don’t make it a habit with anyone
you see
because you are too precious
and valuable
and important
but thank you
I do
I appreciate the gesture and the thought.
I do
I want your love but not like that
just not that way
just not by suffocation
I want to be engulfed in it
there’s a difference

I want to fall backwards
into a beautiful abyss
full of colorful jellyfish.
I'm sick of the sadness
that likes taking over me
during these darkened hours.
So, please, engulf me.

Delirium is sweet as honey
You are the victim of money
You paint your life on a paper
Yet everything becomes vapor
Heading on the road of youth
Is there a solution what soothes
Throught the fingers time melts
You are on your way, you knelt
The picture of Dali in your mind
The secret fortune, you must find
Hundred butterfiles are so brittle
Fortune is never firm, it is hidden
The flames are already engulfing
Now you must only confront it.

I never knew you could
feel at home with someone.
Safe in someone's embrace.
And then I met you...
You didn't give me flowers,
you planted me a garden.
You didn't just tell me you
loved me, you showed me.
You didn't hurt me,
you saved me.
I was waiting for the
emptiness to engulf me,
but you came along and gave me
a safe haven.

I'm sinking under the waters surface
In some sort of helpless hoping
that they'll entangle me inside
of their electric lace curtains,
Won't you engulf me?
Swallow me whole and
electrocute me.
Maybe then I'll wake up as one of you.
Sinking for completely different reasons
flowing gracefully, seeking out prey.
Let me explore with you...

Oh my, I'm dragging bodies
over the welcome mat and I
sit them up on the couch so that
they may feel at home
Oh jeez, these displaced pixels
and rhythmic reception soon
let loose a solemn deluge
of flickering blue light onto
Oh dear, dead faces in the glow
of some early-morning show
currently being reflected back by
their glazed and vacant eyes
that I just can't seem
to stop staring into.

it's like I've been moving in slow motion
caught somewhere between dreams & what's real
eyes open, eyes closed
as they flutter open
I wonder...
when dreams and reality are to come
together
the way I lose my breath
the thought,
the mere idea, memory, desire
your hands on the small of my back
your lips
I remember,
and, too, sadly, I forget,
and I hope
and I
dream.
I hear melodies, old and new, too
they remind me,
entice me,
help me dream...
But, is it a dream?
is it memories?
My memories and dreams,
they're one in the same.
It did happen,
it could happen,
will it happen?
I'm not waiting,
and I'm
waiting.
I don't care,
and I care so much.
I'm too busy for you,
and I'm always thinking of you.
Your words,
they have left,
they still leave,
they will leave,
a mark on my heart.
I think of your face,
your lips
your hands,
your laugh,
your voice,
but most of all...
I think of your words.
Words is what
we always exchange.
Almost like,
sometimes I think,
we have our own language.
Language.
Years spent studying it,
writing,
yet your words,
they are
the most
immaculate.
You've said,
and you say,
so many things.
I get it all.
I hold onto each syllable,
written and oral,
they all touch me alike.
I am captivated
by you--
your thoughts,
your mind.
It is your spirit,
unbridled,
that won me.
The thoughts you store,
a complex man
in a world too stipple to understand
him.
Often he has been a lone wolf.
Often he has struggled,
yet he was never defeated.
You have transformed,
as a caterpillar does into
a butterfly...
You now are transformed
into a man with a past,
with wisdom,
with baggage,
with an impendium of knowledge,
with a story...
It is this story, this very story,
these words,
they have won me,
taken their arms,
held me,
taken me in,
engulfed me.
You.
Your story.
Your words.
All of it.
I would listen,
hear,
read,
ponder,
comprehend,
analyze,
forever.
