Gilded Gold

Laying there
languidly

 barely caressed by the sweet wind
swirling around your ears and in and out of the baby hairs on your arm
lifting a few long hairs from your head, dancing across your face

 the sun is gilding you with golden brown sugar
dripping down from its rays
slowly

 slowly
you close your eyes and let go.
it's that feeling some people try to force
with anything they can
pure bliss
warm, gilded gold. 
you hear the sweet wind fluttering each leaf
sounding like maracas

 the birds just small creatures who know nothing else but those leaves
one songbird calls calmly to his mate
who echos him
they let each other know where they are
never too far from one another
always close enough to echo

 it's not a song of desperation
or a lost, hollow cry for help

 they're warmed in gilded, dripping gold from the sun.


i will always echo you
i'll always be close enough to hear you call out for me.

Summer flings turn into serious relationships that, if they survive all the way through Winter, could turn into the real deal. The air turns brisk, and it tastes different. Feels less like you're wading through it and it has more of an atmosphere, almost a certain sound . And of course there are s...

one more word & you won't survive

out in the center line cars passing by on either side nobody is looking at you. nobody sees you peeling back your layers peeling and tearing at your skin until your stomach is a gaping hole, the white hot energy coursing into the different channels in your body your veins frayed, nerve endings jagged like wires ivory cage struggling to keep it all in you pull off different parts of yourself until you're too fragile and you scatter them all across the pavement ashes raining down like confetti, catching in the wind, feathers nobody is looking at you as your knees become one with the ground with a crack, splintering your bones blood trickles in strings and you're desperate for them to see, screaming at them to see and simultaneously hiding behind your fingers so they can't so they can't see what you're doing to yourself what would they think?
