Tangerine Lights, Star Crossed

By BeautifulCalamity

Silence was never a lover of mine,
Its nakedness had me stunned..
Breathing sighs of places [I'd never see]

Silence does taunt..
Dances on our shoulders,
Mocking our words.
And Dreaming has its own chance..
To give me tastes of wines I'd
Never Drink

"It Will (I Will) Be Gone Soon"

Your eyes hide through the clarity
that is a tear,
and we fall.
Your touch is of harm,
and Your Words worse.
Flames to my heart,
for everything I've seen..
Will Be, Mine.
{Will You?.. Ever}

Do you know I've loved you?..
like the warmest kiss,
--I am Your Shelter--

"Your Love, How Brittle"

Tongue Kissing My Wounds,
I say Goodbye, But
not against
your eyes

.......


Forever-----Hurts
And if I could forget our wasted verbs,
our restless sentences..
of naivete,
I Would.. Never

(You Count Your Lovers In The Sky)

Endless is my view,
I See Them All..
Distorted figures of ballroom dancers
escaping love at midnight...
Running away to our futures,
But..
taking along our pasts.
[I Hope This Lasts]

We are taken in by tangerine lights and
black-handed music,
to our.. imagination's most vivid corners.
You paint portraits of us,
Delicate are the strokes of your brush...

And The Poison Seems To Fall
Right Out Of Your Mouth..
(your beautiful mouth, that i so long to kiss.. to taste one last time.. to know, to love..)

Onto My Lips...
(onto my lips, they shriek for fear of losing you (this))
My blood was always this poison you drink,
like sweat of wine,
like sweat of mine..

Intertwined,
Star crossed lips, Shady Eyes..
and a Boundless Mind....
