All My Friends

There were things we said,
did, wanted to say, do
but it was -- was not
-----
nothing will be the same
everything is the same
I love you on days like these
When turmoil is the only sane thought
-----
Will you run from the sunset with me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Baby, we have the world here
Leaving is impossible
Loving inevitable
----I want to bury lives
between the sheets
in purely platonic love nests
built on two extra-long twins
pushed together under permanent starlight
-----
Smoke to the sunrise tonight?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We. do. not. get. embarrassed.
Unabashedly, love me.
Unabashedly, live with me.
Unabashedly -------
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
My heart bursts
when you understand

~~~~~~~~~~

We censor our words
as we laugh at the porch lights
like they are fire,
we the matches who lit the flame
----
believe me, I love you
I cannot change, though,
do not want to
I want to stay here
----
Are you coming or not?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life is not yours to take,
to steal, to suck the soul out of,
Life is borrowed
------You don't get it
-- I love you, still
------------
You are a drug
No one can break from,
no one can live after
You suck the soul from them
From me, from life
--I love you, still
------------
I cannot explain you;
I do not want to anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fifty cent dates are the best
When the sunset crystalizes
our moments together
in 5-second stills
------we climb bridges
--together
--------------
We have children
born in our imaginations
running wild over waterfalls
where the drought refuses to strike,
heat paled by the passion between us
--------------
We have forever in crystal sunsets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Honey, you melt me altogether
Everything is perfect, light, whole
Even in the bitchiest hours
of your lingering presence
when even the Turkish skies
Cannot keep us apart
-------
You solidify reality
in sweet sugary cups
dark curls, pale skin
------
You drip like Honey
into my veins
