It's been a long time hasn't it?

--------------------------------

tail light fade
down the highway.

* * *
take your time and breathe.
Take your time and breathe.
take your time and breathe.
take your time and breathe.
make your time just breathe.
take your time and breathe.
i have a feeling.
I have a fever.
i have something
burning inside
my mind.
the taste of your lips
with the sway in your hips--
makes perfect sense
our time well spent.
you'll be my oasis
in this desert of sheets.
* * *
my heart is pumping gasoline
while matches start to look quite enticing.
you're my delicate mess.
a subtle relief
gentle wind blowing leaves.
rhythmic beating of wings.

it's been a while.
we'll both embrace the change.

* * *
i'm taking apart my insides.
taking apart my life.
making your ghosts in reason.
it's just not real anymore.

so, tare apart your cross and churches.
burn your idols and false pretenses.
religion is just a building,
when faith will get you fed.

what's wrong.
what's wrong.
what's wrong.
what's wrong.
my canvas can't paint itself.

* * *
Darling, come home quickly.
I need your slim figure
gracing my arms,
holding on
like it'll be the last time
we'll ever see each other again
every time.
* * *
the sky is slate
and I can feel it pulling at me,
pulling at my face.
Come look and see
you'll know it kid.
the freedom
is better than breathin'.

this world will know who I am.
throwing it up with this paint in my hand.

* * *
your heart is beautiful,
though a little chipped on the sides
sitting warm in your chest,
back and a little to the left.
between breath it beats,
life flows in your veins
like a velvet dress in the rain.
and when I hold you,
I feel you living,
breathing,
I know that you're really there,
and you still care.
my love,
lets go back to there.
* * *
we need a place to stay,
warm and out of the rain.
Quite in the evening
with high ceilings and curtains.
so we can forget the past,
start again.
and while I was leaving
I swore I heard you say,
"see you, space cowboy."
* * *
The walk to your house
isn't long,
but the walk back takes forever.
Crickets and fireflies
dance and sing
while foggy street lamps show the way.
* * *
This is an avalanche,
I can't stop the comfort
in knowing you care.
This is my desire to be
the wind in your hair
and the sun on your shoulders.
this,
this is me saying "I love you."
And not looking back.
* * *
subtly fall to the floor
in time with your breaking mirrors
your fake white teeth,
smooth plastic skin.
The faithful reap the rewards,
and you can still hear him singing down the hall.
* * *
Chase it down to the bones
with terrible speed,
busting through doors
like bulldozers through trees.

and windows beckon your fall
16 stories tall.
cause all I could think of
were your tail lights in the distance.

* * *
I woke from a fevered dream,
buckets of sweat in my sheets.
but I know what kept me there,
lying in an ocean of blankets
and pale green walls,
that sound so familiar and comforting
so faint and bold and lovely.
the hiss of static over the air
like concrete filling a room,
my last hope on the radio.
* * *
this nervousness I'm counting on
lifts my eyelids,
stands me up
and lets me know that,
we're something special
hiding under blankets in parking lots.
* * *
I want to emboss my face onto your heart,
leave a mark on your ribs.
pass through your hands
just to settle on your lips.
linger on your pillow
and sway with your hips.

Love of mine: someday we won't die.

* * *
complacency is a strange word,
smug but afraid.
eggs in a nest,
wind blowing from the west.
and sweet memory you'll
keep close to you.

tiny kisses on my cheek.
I'll climb through windows
and we'll meet.

I hate rhyming.

* * *
bring me the horizon
and I'll give you mountains.
Covers of wrinkled land
draped over me.
I saw victory in your eyes
shimmering in cordial patience.
In that instance
the flowers listened.
the trees whispered.
and the mountains,
the mountains,
our mountains stood guard--
fall into it like a fever.
* * *
fuck.
I don' tknow what to say.
One more step and you die.
this isn't a poem
* * *
to motion in the tide
as they lay down to die,
in shallow graves
under gently crashing waves.
to catch the first flake of snow
on wanting brow,
in mid december leaves
on the ground.
to show these tired fingers
that the strings still will
bend to the sound,
heavy breath tasting
lips so loud.
Concrete will fill this room.
waves take just a little more sand.
and snow fills my hand.
This is what it is to.
what we already knew.
no arguments aside.
* * *
we took a walk to the moon
and learned to breathe with hands tied behind our backs.
the water was cold but we still held on
as rustling leaves crept sidewalks and streets
we've found our new home.

mere silhouettes pass by in droves
to hear what melodies death may compose.
I turn and see you're still breathing
Our hearts racing our eyes chasing
lungs burn and whease

* * *
