Fly With Me

If i had a ship with wings,
would you be my companion in all the adventures it would bring?
Travel with me to the end of our days,
to the edge of our reality.
dont regret not coming.
if i leave before you agree,
dont yell after me.
not equipt with rear-veiwmirriors nor brakes.
please dont make the mistake,
and pass on me.
with or without you,
i lurk in my luminescent shuttle to the good life.
upon entering my boat,
the soul is overwhelmed with feelings of hope.
mind plagued with euphoric spasms,
and your body possessed by beautiful eurhythmics.
i can even let you drive.
its an automatic,
so you don't even have to learn to drive a stick
don't worry about traffic
we slip
through the open sky like shears through fabric
opening up the sky
witnessing all the glory of life
before we die
and when times get tough
we desalinate our tears
so have no fear to cry
put the past behind us
and on we fly.

Four Lettered Word

There is plenty of other fish in the sea
But to me
Your looking more like a shark.
Reared up and ready to to take bite outta my heart.
Like a scuba diver who can't swim.
I was destined to fail from the start.
Destined to fail because the most terrifying word in the English dictionary is a four lettered word.
That starts with a L.
With you on my mind into the ocean
Into the sea
Into love.
I fell.
And now I know this terrifying four letter world
All too well.

irun

I run
as fast as ever
in my wildest dreams i could never
dream i would run this fast
run right on past
everything
no brakes
i take a lunge of frustration
with nothing else to do i begin the demonstration
i run from what i once desired
run from what was once my only true want
the one thing my life required
i run away from what i was previously running to
i run away from love
i run away
from you
and as if every lesson i was taught i choose not to remember
and so as i run
i run with scissors
with them i cut into my chest and discard my defective heart in the river
if you wish you can attempt to retrieve it be my guest
but honestly i cant describe a better feeling than running
running with wind blowing through your chest
gouging out my eyes
and cutting off my hands
so the lies
can neither be seen nor felt
taking the bloody scissors and cutting off all ties from my belt
because i realize i run faster by myself
yet
in the back of my mind
i know
if i go
i have doomed myself
doom is the day i run too fast
the day i realize my legs wont last
when i find i was running in the wrong direction
when all i crave is affection
leaving me with no eyes looking for my heart
blindly feeling around in the dark with nubs
desperately trying to find love
but then again when has the certainty of failure ever stopped me
and so
i run
