: nonsense

some nights

I face the sky

and try not to drown

“Boody”

do you know that place

where your fears go to thrive?

Of course not.

you only know the place

“KAT”

Oh my sweet darling girl,

it seems you’ve lost your head.

I’ve heard a rumor through the vine:

“oh, y’know, like Mercury:

floating along the edges

“peace be with you”

it hangs in the air

a genuine blessing

hidden in a prayer

I mean it,

peace,

through all your days

when your smile has no joy

and your heart is full of hate

when you’ve seen every wicked thing this world has to share...

please remember my wish for you

so I sit

in this mist

this life induced fog

and I steam

dissipate

for God knows how long

and I watch

as my tears

are all lost in the wet

oh why

have I not

fire and brimstone

force of the wind

bearers of armies

my poor heart,

sad little thing

aches for the love

sunflower

moonflower

rainflower too

born under lilac skies

remember..

these “common” chromatic eyes

hold everything you’ve been

you asked him the color of the doors to your soul

sepia skin

toasted almond eyes

I love you, I don’t like you

said the Sea to the Sky:

“you are more beautiful than I

far more radiant and wise

in my depths I hold terrors,

you have the entire cosmos in your eyes!”

and the Sky merely sighed,

and said to the Sea:

“I rue the day

they let you believe

that you

are any less beautiful
