velvet lips. velvet moon.
"into the black and out of the blue"
left summer in a casket and brought autumn on a gurney.
winter passed the aisle and spring read the eulogy.
and what's a midnight summer's dream anyway?
a million words wrapped and shaped with clay.
i traced the clouds back into my veins.
they pump me high and give me words to say
purple drinks and purple lace.
purple bruises with all the same names.
follow it back - trace it to the same place.
we all start where we begun and begun where we end.
if you're not killing time, you're saving it for the end.

just hold your breath so i won't take it away
ReplyDeletei got all these shells in my ears to ocean waves
chicago glistens but california lights the way
and your eyes match the neon sign of our getaway
tell me how to get to you tonight
sleeping under sheets
my mind races through the night
she calls out to a dream
and i feel the rain inside
is this what a broken heart dreams
once the distance tore it apart?
just sink into me and let your fingers float away
typing words through tubes that guide our way
a vision crashes and a dream is burnt
another lesson that i'll never learn
