I-80 through Nebraska

By heroineyes

along the roadway, daisies
sway and sing in the wind...

or is it You...

gently guiding me
to life and
perpetual love...

i wish You could see
the scar on my arm...

(You'd like the pink in the sky)

and we'll soar...

i hope You know
the sky will be so
jealous of your eyes


loveliketechno

artist note: read it as quarters in 4/4...
i.e. quarter 1 2 3 4...thud-thud-thud-thud
eigths 1and2and3and4and...dada-dada-dada-dada
(in the same amount of time as the thud-thud's...)
and so on...



and it's infectious...
it's intoxicating...
(thud-thud-thud-thud)
an hour turns to six,
with a drug slipped
from Your tongue to mine.

toss Your brown...
twist and shout...
(thud-thud-thud-bada)
stop heartbeat...it's impossible
to hate a Girl who looks
who looks good dancing. (lights flash)

and we get down
lookin like someone
(thud-silence-thud-silence-thud-thud...)
stepped on your shoes.
love ain't always a
party (but this sure as hell is)
