for they were words -
just another drop in the sea -
but there theyll live,
there theyll float beyond,
there theyll sail on,
on wind and nature alone, without you,
without your hands on the wheel,
those memories
there theyll come to live on their own,
one day.
since that one mistaken smile,
it was enough to carry along for my long journey,
i stole their words and packed them away,
into a locket,
for their then-meaningless, now-priceless words
fills me up and inflates my ego
like a red party balloon,
for a buoy like that,
for a boy like me,
it helps to float above,
the dim depressing dark,
pushing away the clinging hands of defeat,
marks and scars that slide off and slip away
from my once wet skin
...
so go come over here,
reshuffle the memories.
move around the furniture in the house.
talking across the hallway,
through the walls, with our different retellings,
our pushy interpretations
our weighty meanings
it all comes around, a carcassones of different personalities - paper bodies, wearing origami rosaries, holding hands endlessly, as long as our tongues can keep up and keep listing
their meaningless priceless words that buoy,
hang on to it with your tireless teeth
with your skin and your tight grip
never let go
that ledge youll always find yourself,
hanging onto dry
again i go and imagine,
it's someone's kindness.
again i go to imagine someone,
with good-looking intentions.
again i imagine,
what will come after that
again, i ask, for the death of me,
for my egocentric self
to become used, for selfless, little, goody-two-shoes
deeds
...
hey you short sunflower
go stand tall and proud
you wont stay staring, at the shadows on the ground for long, wont you?
come here
and face the sun.
looking out the door
with that kind of face,
you've been already waiting for,
(expecting) them, havent you?
take up your roots
and change grooves
go move to different soil -
to a ground that accepts you
as-is, like yeah, you're just fine staying right here
oh summer rain
and summer sun
you thirst for rain just as much as you thirst, looking for the sun
sitting on the table,
i want to be
the colorless glass of
a metal body, a table vase with which lightwaves, coming from the rear window,
pierces through,
refracts into,
a splattered ooze
of scattering hues
on the tiled floor
since i like me
i like being defenseless
clumsy and
endless
very, very-much
ill go get you, someone like me,
lowering your guard down,
tearing away at the old dated wallpaper covering up the grain of your tall wooden walls
how will your color
shine through me today,
like a complete exact mirror?
no i dont think so,
cuz it's a clumsy kind of love,
no i,
dont mind that kind at all
for you were my first's of many
of sloppy and little wet kisses, mired with salty, runny, happy tears
my nose meeting yours and we boop
this never misses...
i make your face wet
with a teary-eyed, sloppy and tireless, smile
my aimless expresion making a mess everywhere
maybe even just a little bit of that paint
will land and grace your face,
for sure, it's only a matter of time,
only a matter of random chance
for that knot that only gets tighter
the more i push away
these ties, its like that isnt it?
it gets harder to pull away
...
coming together,
old lovers and old friends.
a rekindled flame,
it somehow burns brighter
than it used to be.
was it always this dark around here?
or was our light
just so sharp,
it went and carved away
at the shadows on the walls
formed shapes, caricatures,
idealized characters that look like our frozen faces
...
and like a clear window
or clear colorless water
i only show up when you shine your light through me. and my skin became that same color of your very own kindle
only when you perceive me
and look back ---
is when i start shifting colors
showing off my rays
based on you, so easily,
like its just a breeze to me, for you
