There's a sunset

I still remember

Particles in that humid air

Scented of soil and rich promises

Just beyond reach

Mingling and dancing on our hair

and flesh

A tinge of vodka

A splash

Of some fruit that now escapes me

Her eyes were bold

Strong

Her face, now a bit fogged

Perhaps the time and vodka

To behold! or to be held

Or the sunset

That I still remember

I’ve awakened to you

To all of you

Each piece of each part

Is poison in and of itself

Consciousness is demanding

In its pieces

More than we can bare

The ouroboros doesn’t suffer

But heals with its knowledge

I’ll give my rations of sun and water

To the seeds

Feed upon my own flesh

For the sake potential

Even the hemlock and the poppy

and the oleander

Trepidation in the clouds

Her eyes

Rolling against her spine

Droplets upon her cheeks

Memories beyond the horizon

Settling in the fog

Her shelter

Now

Is unrecognizable

And after all

the give and take

The binds

Of each heartache

If one of us

could be free

Even still

I choose you

I shouted your name

In a fireworks display

I could hear my own heart beat

Dragging my leg

More useless weight

But no one cared to see

You were looking up

For rockets and love

I could tell that you were free

It’s days like this

Oh in these times

That no one cares to be

If we found love

If we called it a life

I’m not sure what’s still clear

I can’t do another night

Dinning under Roman candle light

With a centerpiece

Of freshly cut tears

Droning

The shuffling of bare feet on worn wood

Has a distinct sound

A layer of sand between

Highlights

Window panes outlined by the setting sun

Has a distinct quality

A westward seaside bungalow

Sentiment

The thickness of salt mixed with sea and air

Has a distinct way

Remembering everything I’ve lost

What the waves wash up is never as valuable as what they drag in

I've sailed to the edges

Of your world

And back again

By the light

Of your eyes

I've planted my lips

To the soil of your skin

Thanking god I'm alive

If I go any further

I'll be forever lost

Just beyond

The curvature

Of your thighs
