Last breath ...

I want it to fall heavy with reluctance

of so much of so little

known and unknown.

Vastness I want it to

flirt and mix with.

Go waltzing through eternity.

Blow grains of sand off of heaven

and carefully land them at your feet.

Meet horizons we've spent our lives chasing

and burn with glows red

awakening your days and stealing away nights.

Be the light that so subtly settle on you skin.

I want it to make home in you

Every corner of you

unknown to you.

Be it the last I draw of you.

And I will not exhale

till you keep it safe.

My last breath.

Whisky Lullaby, Brad Paisley ♥

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night


He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby


The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time 
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night


She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Ranting ...

Drops on some lone wire
How we chase each other
And combine
And fall as one.

They ...

They were like dust blowing frantically
From here to there
Through the paused noises of night.
They flew from me to you, on tiptoes,
Blowing with the shadowed curtains.
They traced every inch of flesh on you
As my own fingertips
And left tender touches of lips everywhere.
They settled in your pores
And tickled you in places
That made you roll on your back
To me.
Once again, this one side of the bed
Held my entire universe.
They were everything I never could say
In the chaos of the day.

Scribbling ...

Long have these eyes stayed open,
now heavy with the weight of minutes
that have been flooding in
all day long.
The bed awaits to be messed up
by careless tosses and turns
and meaningless kicking off
of blankets to the floor.
They stay still
till these lips have left their mark
on your forehead
when you fall asleep.

Ranting ...

Slowly carved on my back
With love and tenderness 
are the many lines of proof
Why we breathe as one.

Ligtening ...

They were lightening
Soft white streaks across the darkness
And thunder it made love to
Passion and emotions alight.
They dripped slowly from the coal night
And struck with care the ground
On which I stood.
Every mark it left behind
Was reasons why reason failed with you 
They were whispered words from you
That awoke my morning.
