Just keep swimmin', swimmin', swimmin'

All around
Submerged in waters
Turbulent seas
impossible to breathe

will our fate be tied
as those around us drown
are we like them,
so easily taken

for now I hold tightly
clinging to faith
in loyalty, trust
in bonds that we make

and easily broken
so simply, we die
fuck everyone else
today, I will try

swimming, for you
all the strength I possess
hold close, my love
we may survive the rest

I have drown before
And we just may again
But for us, I will swim
For as long as I can

Evening of thoughts.

in the dusk of evening glow
i see the contours of your face
as i learn you, what you know
you draw me close in your embrace

the life you evoke outward
is the essence that I crave
fleeing, always my reaction
yet I'm held close by your gaze

you are like the air I breathe
taking a piece of you, in me
never will I capture every part
marking mystery, crucial start

rhythm of life, energy flows
into this cycle, out of control
flying low in the wind,
kissing death as we pass
ending where we begin
complete cycle so fast...

influencing me, a reckoning force
can't help but be drawn in
as you build your own course
fueled by a fire, a strength all your own
let me hold you tonight, you feel just like home

Summer Memories

sweet whispers of life
stolen away
tastes of joy, empathy,
envy, distain

kissing souls,
sampling emotions,
sensory buffet.

curious,
your wonder
diffused to my own
now i'm left hungry for detail
thirst for the unknown

music to my eyes
your presence resides
i'll walk you home
you'll get me high

killing cells
wicsh you well
as you get on your way

take me back
to the court
jury's out on your play

sweetness of laughter
comes to an end
swept up by your current
my fairweather friend
