OXYGEN
I loose myself in
song and verse
daydreaming life into
fog induced clouds of amber
yearning a touch of light upon
lips that map tears and
routes of affection
distanced by
memories and bleeding heart
bandaged by the play button
finding peace
in surround sound and
tales of woes and beauty
wrapped up in
luscious limbo
rewinding time
into cassette tape'd innocence
as to breathe
and forget exhalations
where intentions
makes bodies move
and skin tingle
to meter'd whispers
gauging loneliness
distempering anger
setting aside
dimensions where
love is sunshine
and there are rainy days
set aside for lovers
suctioned
bag piped bellow movements
as to breathe
ears being deep running wells
that never run dry
consuming aches and pain
like lick-able candy
confections that are necessity
to drown out
have and have not
want and want not
sung to me like lullabies
cradling unadulterated fears
in invisible embrace
that are not requested
but given gifts in percussion
gasping from the squeeze
as to breathe
i live here
dipping in and out
of realities that have no rules
yet rule demeanors
and save days
from the quiet destruction
and stealth moods
leaving me
minute by minute
track to track
yearning in sigh
as to breathe.
