Tonight

Tonight let's fly
Dance and float under a wailing sky
Tonight we'll hide in a barren cave
And passionately sweat our woes away
Tonight plant a lasting kiss,
against my trembling lips
Whispering love on a crowded porch,
holding my hips
Tonight let's plan a romantic scene
A Shakespearean stage where our hearts can dream
And your thirst for me can no longer wait
You gallantly halt me at the airport gate
Let's forget of tomorrow's rising light
And focus on this never ending tonight

repression of a perpetual dream

I dream of ferris wheels and roller coasters. powdered sugar over deep fried treats. i walk along with a happy song stuck.
stuck.
in my head.
life is comfortably recognizable. but the sky is so foreign.
the strawberry
plum
banana
swirl above my head flickers with a battle of shooting stars.
i snap a picture. jot it down.
i need.
need
more than a blurring memory to take home to reality. and i run quickly,
in hopes of a perpetual dream.
but then i fall.
incapacitated.
the moment fades. i awake to a realistic dimension.
without pictures. without sketches. another dream permanently repressed.
forgotten.
