The Lights In My Eyes

My ‘Happy’ jar, coming along nicely :)

I will chase the wind through mountains
And oceans, if it brings me closer
To your breath.
You breathe on me through winter
Gales, and I feel it even
When you don’t.
You follow me closely with your
Scent, of longing and indulgence
And love- fear.
I want this fear always.
Until the waters of forever, run
Clear.

Do you ever just,

Do a memory drive-by?

Reach in to the deepest 

Crevasses of your mind

And pull out all you wished

Or didn’t wish,

To find?

Sometimes a drive-by, isn’t

Just a drive-by. 

Sometimes you stop,

Sometimes you get out.

Sometimes your petrol runs out

And you’re stranded

At that place.

That place you got in the car,

And you drove to.

When I’m sitting there, miserable

I feel worthless in this world,

And I want something.

I want you to sit next to me and

Take my hand and

Sear my eyes with your gaze.

In this moment, I am beautiful-

So beautiful.

And it’s because you love me.

You can’t drink love

You can’t drink sun

You can’t drink kisses

You can’t drink fun.

You can’t drink bits of happy

Especially when you’re sad

But I can drink this whiskey-

Forget the thoughts I had.

Pull the colour from my eyes.
Beckon the brightest of drum
Beats, to beat me to the ground.
Back in to the darkness,
Where the silence is
Louder, than longing and
Locked lives and
Lies.
Not everyone, was born to
Breathe.

Lighting a match on my

Skin, is as easy as saying

Those words.

I wonder,

Why do you carry

Matches on you, when

You don’t even smoke?

You just like to burn me.

My cup is black
And etched with gold
The coffee’s fresh
The flavour’s old
I swallow it
Without a care
The long, warm notes of despair.

Come and join me
In this world of night
Where nothing is wrong
Nor particularly right.
A place where trees
Don’t grow very tall
A place where nothing
Much grows
At all.

My mind.

Lyrics catching on fire,
Burning
Slowly
Through my sensitive skin.
They do not see,
The
Skin
That melts away in to nothing.

How can they?
