When we assess the damage;
We haven’t even created a divot
out of an indenture
haven’t pulled the professor out
of their lecture-
Haven’t stood back and admired the spector
or the splendor;
The architecture of the leading contendor-
Manufacture something they’ll remember
wordsmith-
They say I’m just a dreamer,
but the visionary
lies trapped in the eyes of a colorful canary.
I eat the stars and spit the moon,
I split
outside my cocoon
in light of something
[that’s true]
You’ll only discover this,
within yourself;
we can only presume…
The soul is a fragrance-
The spirit, it’s perfume-
and the only way I can describe or compare addiction

I almost lost my breadth,
my heart almost fell
out of my chest,
and that sinking feeling
I almost felt
was like the world truly was
evaporating underneath
our feet.
It had rained for days,
and I had just now realized
the size of the puddle
that had risen to my ankles.
Throu hell and high-waters,
Let them swell,
they’ll wash right out…
Brain-storming
our mind-sets
and never wanting to let-
go
of certain aspects,
as long as they stayed relevant.
(But in all honestly,
I believed our design
to be so unique
we have to create
an alternate reality
from our individualities,
a certain significance…
just to create something signature
and as similiar
yet just as foreign
To anything else-
To anyone else-
To nothing-else-
To no-one else-
but ourselves…)
[That is up until…]
Only until we had eachother,
and the window with a view
was only a fractal of a marginal.
How could you call everyone out,
then leave them all untouched?
Simple.
Gnaw!
& Clutch!
Kill em ‘
with kindness-
Drown em’ all
in love-
until throu the swell
you reach the one
you fought throu the tides for
and in the wake of your existence
you wash away the waves.
Wot aligns with dragonscales
and tigerstripes?
Wot lies betwixt
the rivers and the streams?
A hound’s teeth?
Leed me to water,
for I shall never drown.
With a galaxy on my shoulders;
It was impossible for a single
world
to keep me down.
