Davi

You were a breath of fresh air
Bursting through
The stagnant oxygen 
My lungs were used to breathing in
As our eyes met
For the first time
In a long time
And my eyes
Filled with light 
For the second time 
In a long time
As your eyes 
Kissed my soul
For the first time 
Ever

And it made me feel so alive

Alive as in
Crazy
Stupid
Heart racing
Brain-blanking
Passion
Coursing through my veins
Feeling insane
This feeling of life

And you hugged me
Tightly 
Squeezing every attempt
To pretend
From my lungs and
Breathing life
Right back into me
Right where it used to be
Unsteady
Unpredictable yet
Unchanging
Faithfully erasing 
My every attempt at creating 
A sense of contentment 
Amidst the mediocrity 
That I called life
Then you called bullshit
Exposing my hypocrisy
And as your lips spoke
Words that meant nothing
Began to mean something
And it wasn't to long
Before
Those somethings 
Became everything
And everything
Was an addicting 
Exchange of desire

And honestly
The best synonym 
For desire is fire
Because
Of its all-consuming
Powerfully engulfing
Intoxicating nature
Along with the
All to real risk 
Of getting burned 
But
It comes with the promise
That you'll never
Feel the cold

So I inhaled the smoke
Billowing around me
Tasting ashes laced with
Wishful thinking
Knowing I had only dreamt
To feel the way I felt
When our fingertips touched
Dancing
Twisting around each other
Lightly
As if feeling for a foundation
To fall in love from

But as I exhaled the smoke
From with in me
I tasted decay laced with
Guilty feelings
Reminding me
I cant talk your hand
Because someone else
Is holding mine
And I cant give you my love
Because someone else
Has a claim on mine

And that I've lived
Every day
Holding my breath
Waiting
Simply for a moment
To take it away
And that you took it

And I cant take it back
Even if I really wanted to
And I really wanted you
And still want you
Want you to hear
What I've written here

But they're just words
Words to some
Meaning absolutely nothing
Words to others
Holding an intriguing something and
Words to me
That mean everything
They are just words
Words that hold the power
To leave me with
Nothing. 

The end

Untitled

He walked in
With his guitar in one hand
A cigarette in the other
A flask in his pocket
And a pair of aviators
Resting on his nose
Even though it was
8:30pm and the sun
Had begun to set
On the dusty little bon fire
That crackled and cackled
As it devoured the wood
We lazily poked at
Ever so often

He was wearing his
Bad ass
Kickback
Relax attitude
That reeked of whiskey
And glowed
With the glazey facade of
"I don't give a shit"

He sat down
Put his feet up
Pulled out his flask
And like so many before
Mistook alcohol
For the escape door
As he fought to forget
about his feelings for her
As memories came flooding in again

Waves of wishing
For what would have
Or could have been
Threaten to leak from his eyes
So he starts making obscene jokes
And swearing
Trying to disguise
From the transparency
That was growing
With every habitual tilt
Of the flask

Down his throat
Then
Up in flames
In his soul
To burn his scars and emotions
Because feeling brings pain
And
Pain brings erosion
Leaving shattered pieces
To burn
Then billow up and away
As he roles his head back
A completion of a breath
Blowing the smoke
From his lungs
Waiting for the freedom
To come
For a moment
To simply fly

But as the soot settles
All goes black
Leaving tar stained lungs
From tobacco
And
Nicotine
A momentary hear beat
Scars left bleeding
And emotions smoldering

The graceless equality
Where the fire destroys the wood
Then the wood destroys the fire
As every negative feeling
Begins erupting from his soul

Burping and gagging
Stumbling to his knees
With one hand on a tree
And every attempt at escaping
Came back out
The way it came in
Violently declaring
The impossibility of forgetting
The reality
That was gripping
His stomach and his throat

Allowing the drunken slur
Of brutal honesty
To wash from his eyes
Down his face
And into the earth
Where pebbles in the grass
Became tombstones
"Rest in Peace"
And
"Let it be"
Etched into their existence
As he tips forward
Roles onto his side
And closes his eyes
Falling asleep
Holding half a victory
In that even though
He'll never be able to forget about her
He can really remember
Anything that just happened either.

The end

Because There was no Wifi

Remember the magic
That once dusted our lives
The gift of a pure mind
Innocence with its
Whole hearted
Wide eyed
Chubby cheeks
Discovering mind
Of a clean earth
Untainted by the stains
Of the world
Which beat and batter
Upon the soul
Breaking what was once whole
Remember

Remember
When butterflies took flight
At the mere sight
Of an airplane
And giggling was
The potion
That made the earth go around
When raindrops
Were kisses falling
From the heavens
And every song we sang
Was light
Dancing through the sound

Remember
When the world
Was wrapped around
Our fatty little fingers
And there was no fright
Or scare
That hiding under the covers
Couldn't cure
And
when blankets transformed
Into castles
Rising from the floor
In billows of
Prints and patterns
Princes and princesses
Of perfection

Remember
When beauty was
Bumps and bruises
Healed by the
Unimaginable power
Of the bandaid
Branding us with experience

Remember
When our smiles
Were a glimpse of the gods
And our eyes
Shone with the gold of heaven
Remember

Remember
When our spirits
Were as vast as the oceans
An unsteady mirror
Recreating reflections of
Every speck of light
That flickered across
Our glass panes
Filtering light and dark
Into our souls
As an acid rain
No longer laced with kisses
Drips down our beings
Turning the magic that
Once dusted our lives
Into a muddy sea
With a lonely memory that
Once Upon a Time
We believed in a
Happily Ever After
