Rolling out on my way to set it alight
Embers burning- trailing off... curling
Smoke blurring lines... lips grasping tight
Tension easing- inhaling, exhaling- swirling
Immunizing myself against worldly anxiety
Nice Dreams as i let your vapors soak into me
Gentle release as i begin to let go
Immediately relaxed as i’m lost in the flow
Now intensely attentive, but to nothing specific
Parsing sparsely- distracted, distant- the red-eye
Infected, irritated, imitating before- now global, prolific
Easy, but fleeting- feeling found momentarily- high
Cruising along, letting time pass right on by
Elevated- for tonight- far, far above the fray
Sure i can feel you but i’m not sure what to say
Forging on- baked halfway- you’re nowhere around
Opening, opened- open- finally seeing my way down
Realistically speaking i never really had a choice
Every memory of you- your smile, eyes & voice
Vying for you patiently- pouring my heart- praying
Expecting nothing but still dreaming of everything
Running in circles- desperately writing, wanting & waiting
