we question the passes.

to be fair, you've never had your traveled feet in my trendy shoes
and i have not in yours
but when the glass cracks, and the water breaks, the
pressure is off
wheels stop turning
they spin on their own accord, madly
until the world freezes
who drew the line?
canyons spread apart slowly with time
waters carving out their ways at a malicious pace, slow but steady {wins the race}
i wait in its stones, underneath its rushing passes
aware of the storm
i became simple
because i let myself discover why
while you search i will wait with the waters



simple and cut
minimized to an issue

love for now.

the taste of someone new rests on my lips
as my heart twists into circles at the thought of every future, and
every moment to come
the beautiful, the
horrible
warm & cold
i fear my sense of true is flawed, and that i
prefer the ones with mug shots
but i cannot imagine a day without
so i will pursue the
together
until the next day
and the next

citrus.

the world turned orange, and the birds
sang kiri-kiri
my left hand wanted to be free of what it was holding
so i ran on to purple
till my stomach became a poisonous lining, and my body
shook till i burst into flame
the color orange took on my
skin

cafe a la no one.

in this shell of unknown faces, i
comfortably sit. aware of my
flaws. those on my face,
those in my
behaviors, and those in my
person.
unimpressed pillars hold up this ceiling
planks and beams hold up the
floor
my memory, it is sore
inner glow is yours to take,
yours to embrace
and these bones of mine?
they support
this frame of a person, waiting
for more

the jewels sink, heavy with expectation.

you dreamt my hair was on fire
why is that everyone's skin i brush become dagger-like particles on a spider's leg?
all i want is for us to be happy, and to be enough
my heart that drops at the thought of you, my voice that soars at the sight
... the sight of the idea of you
sighing, i wait
i dont meant to bother
please lift up my reasons for sinking
capsized, i will wait
as the bolts burst and the sirens scream
till water turns black, and my soul with it
till you wake from this jilted day
my world rests on the balance of togetherness
restrained wails are not enough
i take refuge in a triad's completion, and rhythms unfailing


reaching, my hand grows pale
as the deep overcomes
and i am an artifact
drifting in the ocean

i-v-i.

upon review, red marks settle themselves aside mistakes
my laughter chokes at the thought of saying goodbye, but
who allows the broken to cut themselves with glass?
your dismay irks me
and i chirp like a bird in self defense, when perhaps i should
fly away
i want to fall
fall into your arms
but my pride supports the muscles that hold my spine straight,
as straight as curved bones can be
until then, your presence will play chopsticks on my ribcage and sonatinas on my backbone
because pure hearts are causing me to question everything i know
the lights go out
and i am left alone with the inversions

three times walk.

sometimes i cant help but wonder if you think me
it seems we were in all the right places at the right time
boy you had a touch of destiny in my mind
but i missed your warm looks through the portrait of my glassy eyes

im young but i know the taste of wine
yeah im blind but i see when you dont stop at the stop signs
and im free but im still chained to time
yeah im young but i know the taste of wine

when its cold i cant help but miss your warm hand around mine
when its dark i can't help but wish you were my streetlight
i never noticed your clean hair until now
cause boy i missed your tries until now

im young but i know the taste of wine
yeah im blind but i see when you dont stop at the stop signs
and im free but im still chained to time
yeah im young but i know the taste of wine

despite it all
i get tipsy in the twilight
despite it all
i cant stand when you're not in sight
despite it all
i love your shoulders when they touch mine

im young but i know the taste of wine
yeah im blind but i see when you dont stop at the stop signs
and im free but im still chained to time
yeah im young but i know the taste of wine

im young but i know the taste of wine
yeah im blind but i see when you dont stop at the stop signs
and im free but im still chained to time
yeah im young but i know the taste of wine
