Neglect the exit strategies
Factor in the fireplaces
And make a run for the bathrooms
We are artists with no medium
As kindred spirits are united
We must drink this tedium together
And make real words from our seances
We tied ropes around our souls
Solely to shake up our abandonment issues
We have confused virtue and servitude
Confused by loose lips and loose cannons
And the bad breath of certain movie stars
We all share these vulnerable parts
That are as loyal and broken as our heart

some flowers of the meadow bloom later than all the others
and some seeds lay dormant longer to await their perfect time
your fullness will happen no matter what wait you think too long.

Lips that have never been kissed
Hair that's never been brushed back
Cheeks that have never been caressed
Hands that have never been held

Yes, I know I dont need a boy
But it gets kind of lonely
These days I spend my time in wistful dreams

Nocturnes wide awake
All the days inside
Infant dreams

Nightly flights
Til morning
Blush/strokes twilight brightly

Blindly painting
Colors never before or ever
Since seen

But in slumbers’ deepest wish
These high-noon deserts
Brimming white Heat

Waves of ether
The ethereal bloom
Light defeats none but we

Moonless starlings
Cat-calm Cool turquoise
Tearless eyes emoting

Vast and fastidious
Chinook whirlwinds
Climbing the on-coming storm

Dreamer maelstroms
Fearless babes we embark we,
Dancers in the Dark.
