i can’t say no
to you
i envy
the power
you have
over me
power that
could rule man
yet
all you want
is something quiet
Tag: Love
child’s play
bubbles in my belly
blowing in my mouth
popping in my throat
laughter sent down my spine
i don’t know
who got the last laugh
slow down time, just for a second
you catch my eye
every time you walk by
like it was the first time,
i’ll hold those seconds like a treasure
in the back of my mind
just for me;
last seconds
in my last seconds
i’ll see our lives played out;
fast forwarded and muted
window shopping
a green slide
moving vans
swimming pools
ringing bells
ringing
ring
bloody night
they said i’d remember it
for the rest of my life
the first time would be so sweet
nothing would ever replace it
like a mother’s love;
just not how i remember it,
knives in my back,
i’ll remember that
followers;
i perished in a dream
breathed in a nightmare
awoken by a song
drowned in her lyrics
made-up king
walkin’ round like your
a king;
a king
you are a fucking king
i remember when
you first found that crown
wearing it around
like a fearless toddler;
i don’t know where that went-
i found the crown
i don’t know where you went
the best on your journey
maybe will meet up again soon.
gateway drug
i remember your first tantrum
kicking and screaming
it was just broccoli
you’d resist
but
i think you knew
there was worst in store
passing athena on the 57 north
one day;
i’ll wake up in a cloud of your perfume
and never come back
butterfly stroke
i feel you like water between my fingers
swimming inside you
breath being held for hours
this is my comfort place
stroke in motion
pool of clear water
in the backyard
you are home.
