Dancing
Don't
Dreams
Drift
Drink To That
Dancing
In the eye of the storm
the sparkle of that little grain of sand
perhaps a diamond off some
empress's dainty finger
Tangled, turning
turning for you, right in front of you
catching light and building spirit
a leaf in a graveyard falling,
spinning to the ground
Tonight the floor and my heels
will be lovers, their lips will
touch unendingly
And the music will fill us to the brim
and overflow in puddles of
excitment on the ground
Ahh, tonight I reel and tumble
because my soul knows no other way
to calm such a passion inside me
don't say its up to me
you know that's worse than choosing wrong
take five minutes of those surragate thoughts
and place them on your head
don't beg to be the one
you know you've been the honey in my tea
take a second to reflect on these whiskeyed shots
and put them in your pocket
don't brag you run the life
you know you can't control the stars
take them in the shades of pink they're taught
and place them in the past
don't ask to pray for
you know they only float for seconds
take a breath to love this blanketed fairy yaht
and put them on your tongue
don't blame the unit
you know you chose it and wore it through
take them to morning like you think you ought
and put them in yellow
bitter salty tears shed over a stranger
we talked for hours about everything
i knew this would be the last i ever saw of him
but he was everything i ever wanted
he was my dream being real
letting me just be myself
he was sweet and kind and loving
i could see me in his eyes
i could hear his thoughts, his little things,
in my self,
in my dreams
Laughter of children echoing in the emptiness
You are wondering
Why do they play so late at night?
Where is that loving hand to hold?
When do they get to bury their heads
On your heart and cry?
Mother, baby,
Are you going to dry
My eyes?
Father, dear,
Are you going to hold
Me tight?
Let her drift into secluded silences
Let her live her own life.
Mother, honey,
Where are you when I
Need you?
Father, sugar,
Where were you when I
Was hanging on by threads
Drift into the world
Live your own life...
For once.
You said there was no other choice.
How easy to mock you when you get that
look of sincerity on your face
You had to begin somewhere right?
I never knew what forward motion carried me,
shadowed, of course, tainted.
My head knows no other way to laugh than to fall
back and release it's crash aloud to you!
You said children get older
Am I but a fetus in your mind??
The corners of your mouth seem to
be twisting curiously.
I let you down.
Let's drink to that
I have no lid upon my head!
If I did I would glue it shut
You would try to pry it open, only
giving me more reason to
laugh at the nothing you are craving after!
