She was built for the wild
Lusting for a free and wandering life
Wondering why the world can be so cruel
When she had nothing, but love in her heart
She’s a snow leopard
A ghost cat to the eye of the world
Yet, grounded in earthly constellations
It must be why I feel the way I do
I caught a glimpse of a side
The rest of the world doesn’t get to see
A shade fire blue like the sky above
It’s a pain that’s so good and wanting
Chapped lips from interlocked extremities
For the longest time I had writers block
How funny, all I needed was her
Now my Endless Summer doesn’t seem so
Endless
With her silhouette on the horizon

Look at what you started
Here in the lonely hour
For the thrill of it
For we are bashful creatures
Honestly though
It’s just not that deep
Down we go
Our sins are waiting

There still lie some places
Untouched by man and women
Primordial to the Earth
Where the mist and fog have a home
Shrouded by a touch of the unknown
Maybe magic even
Where roses bloom in Death’s hand
And it’s in the air and water
Dancing all around in the life of us
Where everything is give and then take
And even Death makes the worst mistake
For we all end up wanting
Dressing our graves in efflorescence
Wherever we can dance in our minds
Reborn like roses

Yellow, Black, and White
Dancing so effortlessly with countless tire tracks
Singing dirt behind my back
Confidence and the opposite
Drawn to the appearance of you
With all of these words stirring inside of my head
I can't seem to reject this appearance of words
This visage shall undoubtedly drag me to the ocean waves
Beneath the scarlet moons

All of this just might be the same
Regardless this is quite the feeling
Of being insane
And when the day arrives
Where all my poems are dead
And I’ve decided to use words
To **** myself instead
Drowned out in black and white
Laced with colors brought about
By your imaginations
Where you can taste
What’s exactly inside my head
Both in hell and maybe even heaven
Where we’ve lost control
Of our not so holy souls

She asked what it would be like to grow old?
I guess I hadn't really thought about it
A little bittersweet
Like the green apples that matched your eyes
How exciting that the moments we shared
Would be all our own
Just you and I's
And we eat our apples different ways
You like yours peeled with a little bit of caramel
I like mine with a little crunch and straight to the core
I guess life's a little like that
It's whatever we chose for it to be right?
How terrifying that were stuck with what we have
I guess that's the most exciting part
Never knowing what we'll get to choose
I just hope it taste a lot like apples
Maybe a hint of you too

Meet me by the water
While the world is coming undone
As the skyline’s ablaze
Dance with me in the sea
Far from where we came from
To where we ever wanted
Was just to be
For that is all I need
Is for you to be with me
As the world asks for forgiveness

"In the wake of the late night when you think I'm doing something, often times I'm staring out of my window at the world, coming up with ways that I could possibly defeat immortality."

To the girls
With a heart that’s churning
To the one that’s heart is in a million pieces
To the one who’s torn on loving herself
Whatever ails you
Give it a year
You’ll have your glow back
I promise you
I’ve seen in it once and I’ll see it again

We dread that feeling of, oh, so low
So empty, broken, and never home
Let’s never venture to that horrid place
Where love has no trace
And I would cry and you would too
Neither one of us would know what to do
On the horizon comes a storm
We can win this fight, just hold on for one second more
So, hold my hand and love me true
These endless cataclysms will make us ever so confused
But, just stay right here side by side
And we shall be safe and sound
At the end when everything finally makes sense

It just never occurred to me
That I was the one hurting me
Save solutions for rainy days
For now my skins on fire
And my eyes feel so tired
I’ve promised myself one day I’d be sane
Except these flames just won’t die easy
And everything seems to change
These old tricks don’t seem to work
It’s hard to extinguish everything
When nothing’s on fire

I tried again for the millionth time
Yet, the door to the timeless seas
Where I could sit at the beach
Writing pretty love stories
As the waves sing lullabies
And the tide is nibbling at my toes
I knew it in my bones and soul
For the night whispers to me
Take this lesson away
You loved me last night
What about today?
The alcohol says we’re meant to be
Except the door won’t open for me
And the guitar to our love story
Seems forever out of tune
And I lost the key to the beach room

The world called me Vinnie
You called me V
Ultimately I don't understand a thing
I try to do the best I can
I know you try to do the same
We're just so bound to make mistakes
You could call it a disposition
I apologize for all your tears
I wish I could be different
But I'm still growing up
Into the one you can call your love
I don't know if I'll ever be enough
I'm throwing in my chips
I guess I tend to push my luck
And ultimately I believe we'll be okay
It's so cliché to say these things, but repetition is a key
I think I'm better when I'm with you
But I worry when you're gone
I think I need to learn to love myself
I must learn to be strong
So for now we'll say goodbye
Although it pains me in my heart
Your words they come to me in memories
They sing to me like songs
It won't be long until I'm here
Soon I'll make my arrival
Under shady trees
A quiet street
The roads that I have traveled
Ultimately it's a beautiful thing
Like flowers blooming in a lonely field
The petals drift through crossing winds
They find their way to river streams
That scent the water beautifully, it takes me back to you
It takes me back to you

It seemed even as God’s
We found ourselves in a phase
Of making love, where love was absent.

Looped into these last days of eternity
With all the heavenly unseen
Billowed and plowed in dark crave
Lost in a sea of diluted voice
Becoming and unbecoming just that

Eternity

Where small memory and blank pages
Define the parameters where nothingness
Disappears into the palm trees
And the first symptom to surface is desire
Denounced to the many hands
Following the map of keys
Tethered to the piano
As sun soaked faces trace contrails
With speckled eyes
We find ourselves in grievanced turmoil
Amongst such lush life

Never wrong
I thought I was never wrong
And better off just wanting less
But, I knew all of me
Wanted more

6:45 AM and the Sun was missing
Replaced with darknesss
Etched hot platinum streaks across the sky
And I didn’t really mind it
Never mind I am fine with it
Are you talking cause you have something to say?
Or are you talking cause’ you’re too **** afraid of the quiet silence
My hand on your thigh
I don’t want to lie
The conversation just died
And I’m bothered by it cause I’m nervous
The silence that’s not really silent
With rain patter and thunder claps
The only sound was the neon lights
Reminds me of my favorite drives with you

“Untitled”
It’s the only thing I could think of
For you said we have a story
How can I name something
That’s only just begun

All these heavens are the same
They're rotting my brain, love
I think I need a change
Before I go insane, love

All these hells are the same
They're rotting my brain, love
I think I need a change
Before I go insane, love

Now, I am insane
Angels and Demons in my brain, love
Peace we can't obtain
Cause' all these loves are the same

Remember the feel of the sand beneath us
And the smell of smoke between us
When we laughed like kids
Dancing in a burning room
Alight with bonfires burning in our chests
And flames flickering in our eyes
As summer was fading fast?
