Lines of betrayal and deceit sink deep
These dark lingering thoughts, hard to keep
Hard to keep buried within
This tattered spirit is in attempt to mend
This air of darkness is in must to fleet
A faltered facade reaches for light
But this dark haze is winning the fight

tangerine skies
they exist, i know
i hope*
an introspective world flickers in darkened taupe
blue ivy pierces dreams
lavender hopes evade
tangerine skies, you swirl my desires
a life of steep expectancy
and a fleeting presence of hope
tangerine skies you ignite my mind
and fuel my spirit; a long and tattered rope

& all of the sudden i have a case of insomnia
thinking about your hazel eyes
pools of golden honey brown
so deep with promise of truth
but inevitable glimmers of falsity

a hollow shell now perched by your amber intentions
still smolders from your hazel touch
