peaches

The clouds carpeted the sky
Dividing the heavens
From the dusty earth

Deep in the distance
A waterfall of air

Next a layer closer to the moon
Cozied up to the cold metal of the craft
Everyone wonders, “is this the farthest we can go?”

A Jacuzzi of clouds
Laid still
Looking up at the wispy clouds above
Soaking up the sun

A white Arizona
A sailors dream
Soaring somber and sober in thought

Sugar cream icing melting slowly
Over the soul of the earth

A stranger to the sky
We lock ourselves in
and shut out the distance

The sound of air pressure
Is comforting as it
Seeps invisibly through

The shadows are reaching towards my toes
Stretching closer to the moon
In pursuit of my dreams

But they won’t grasp them
And I’m not sure I will either
The mystery remains unsolved

I am left in awe, speechless
My thoughts finally surface
Each cell behind my skull
Re-collected

I am reminded to breath
After the words fall from my brain
“take a deep breath”

Does anyone else see the madness?
Bundled and tucked behind perfection

The equation remains formula-less
Madness locked behind a mannequin

He is the middleman
The curse
His mind backward
His body forward

I need a witness but everyone’s
Eyes are closed

Crushed like powder
little grains of salt
you knew i would hurt you
so is it really my fault

your wound is growing wider
my powders growing thick
your salty little tears
are making my soul sick

all the powder that i give you
is draining from your eyes
its simple white consistency
is turning into lies
