Colorado

your fingertips danced across my skin
like children in the snow
you caressed my traveling soul
and slowed my rapid heartbeat
the light in your beautiful eyes
twirled about as our lips pressed together
your tongue sought solace
inside my mouth
and my teeth grazed your bottom lip
as payment for your loves newfound home

your fingertips stayed firmly inside
our locked hands
you traced my smile with your lips
and I promised to write about you
I'd describe how my heart soared
when i first saw you.
How I noticed the lines that formed on the sides of your mouth
when your smile lit up as you first saw me.

Now your fingertips only move for me while you slide them across your iPhone.
As I am hundreds of miles away and only getting further.
I wonder if the day will ever come where your fingertips are intertwined  in mine once again.

How could I know?

I was going to start off with
"i once knew this person"
but he was not just any person
nor did i ever know him

i knew him by his late night drives
rain racing down the car window
just him, his thoughts and the road
his laugh that was like quiet thunder
the songs that would run through his mind
and hum of it on his lips.

i never knew the person
who built up walls so high
that no one could touch him
whose monsters would dwell
in the darkest hollows of his mind
who lays wide awake at 4am
heart thumping against his ribcage
so wrought with abandon
he couldn't even breathe

He was living somewhere between reality and all that he had ever dreamed
This person used to be me.
I thought I knew him.
But how could I ever know someone who did not know himself.

The trees dont sleep.

The tree's don't sleep at night
they photosynthesize , by moonlight.
Leaves drink in the cool wise light
And give off dreams of a softly fading starlight

Whispers of secrets , monthly unfurl
A single blossom falls at new moon
Hurtling to the ground, awake before noon
Ever noticed? The very word has the circle
Curled up in the center , twice to make sure we remember , two full cups , not one.

Gecko's slip off old skins
And the croaking frog adds to the din
As thunder rolls in
Triggering the dogs bark
Guardian of the stark naked couple
Asleep in their parallel worlds
Together under the umbrella of ambient lighting
Not the natural kind either
But a shameless copy of pure sunlight
That emanates when their bodies collide
On the material plane.

Astral visions lead the way to headquarters
The address? Fax? Phone number?
I'm afraid you'll have to dial again ,
Unless you've meditated on the vibration of emancipation
Then you would already know, you are already there
Doors are open , for those who care to try
No lock on this baby ,
Ain't no safe to play safe
We bask in our humble glory
Under the shores on undulating tides
Rhythmic pulsations
no where to hide
The emanations come from within,
Without , a shadow of a doubt

There is a war coming , in fact we've already been fighting for decades
Just like the change of winds, nature knows her stuff
Tip the seeds too soon and you'll end up with a field full of fluff
But just in time and a harvest with enough to reduce every super market shelf to dust
Even though they already stock that kinda stuff
Clean up on Aisle 4, Aisle 3 , Aisle 2 , Aisle 1
Return the purchase , we've discovered the shit
In the cake
And we found the frog in the salad,
At least their habitat is intact
Or did you think I was still talking about the shops?

I kinda sorta think I'm falling for you

There comes a day in your life where you find someone special…
You try so hard not to admit it but you just can't hold back the way you feel…
I like you.
I mean..
When you get all those feelings…
Those butterflies you can't stomach,
That heart rate you can't put at ease,
So oh baby..
Sweetheart with the beautiful smile.
Sure, with your stunning eyes.
Yes I loved sleep
But dreams couldn't compare
Not to talking to you until my mind screamed for rest
And the butterflies in my stomach settled
Darling with the endless amount of love.
your love could fill the oceans and climb the tallest redwoods.
Or at least, could fill torch lake.
but could your love belong to me someday?
Be given to me?
Can you feel the way I want to feel towards you?
& girl, sometimes I tangle my insides.
Closing my eyes, losing myself in a eternal daydream.
Where your presence is more than an echo in my mind
And I even believe for a few seconds you're here with me.
I am a lover, who wrote poems about you.
You should know by now I write about you.
I write about you until my fingers ache.
And still after that I keep writing
Because there's just some people you could write about forever
And baby, you're one of them.
the way I daydream about kissing your lips...
I can't wait until the sparks of your tongue burn my mouth
send electric shocks through my body
Cutie… with the funny jokes.
Your apologies about nothing.
You make me laugh.
Today you made me laugh.
Can I expect more in the future?
Baby, with those sparkling eyes,
Your eyes haunt me whether I'm dreaming or not
And what haunts me more is the fact that
I cannot have you now
I want you this very instant.
I hope my body can wait 2 months before I see your sweet face.
I hope.
