chasing storms

-
my breath seizes
i cannot see
 what's ahead of me

there's a thread of laughter
a spool of smiles

and i long to unravel and to tangle

but all i see is unity and organization

and i plummet and i choke

for what is it about your arresting air
your debonair nonsense
 pouring like rain in the desert

i long for disorder
and all i see is serenity

let the waterfall crash, let the storms scream

let them in and i bid them welcome
for at least i can pledge my troth

to one unsteady phenonemenon
after another
until something comes
to truly sweep me away

for good

Sweet eyes Delicious dark eyes Eyes that look at me I am entranced You sing I hold my breath Your voice rasps Your body sings I can't help but dance along My eye smokes My voice shakes I don't mind at all Crack in the bell Whisper of the spell You must be magic For I am ensorcelled The horizon breaks Your face beams I can't help but melt If I am a symphony You are my conductor My bones are supposed to be strong I guess I hadn't prepared For the way your eyes soften When they take me in Wishing for something Dancing in the dark Open sign flashing Nonchalant beauty Pining and confused We speak Corner of your mouth Tip of my tongue Flash of white teeth Shivering in summer Trembling in the fall Blushing in winter Let's start it all over in the spring Iron heart In the blacksmith's hearth Can you see my pulse jumping? I want to soar over the world But your hand tugs And your fingers intertwine Holding my hand In your lar...

speed 10 rocketing overfast hyper run overcompensate my feet become pinwheels i am running because everything go so fast to keep up is normalcy, panting flecked with white bloody foam it is a threshold understood sign the box go forth proceed and yet they don't see the sweat pouring in rivulets is this not normal? check engine light on blinking flashing piercing epilepsy trigger warning  the whole world is a trigger warning spoilers ahead! there is no head just a severed animated corpse lumbering lumber dead trees headstones in a copse we watch the encroaching severity and we shrug just a door not a corrupted force i am scared money is scared and bloated  i cannot find a foothold on this spinning  green and blue and brown and white and reddened treadmill i and the all of us are birthed upon.
