she spoke tangerine.

By Six-Out

she spoke tangerine to me
lips painted a shade too light for the mysteries.
that seep from them. like smoke rings
and the soft songs that she.ever.
so delicately sings.

her voice a cancer- and she's a cigarette that begs.
to be lit. screaming: dying has never been so [beautiful]
and .god.

[I love her passion]

but she hates the way the sky looks.
when the stars play hide and seek- and we sing.
maybe death has always been this beautiful
tragedy just paints it rue.
titian promises- she speaks coral

and bittersweet doesn't define her eyes.
as they speak what we fight to put to words.
she ignites me.

the stars are flickering. I'm breathless.

you lull me to to dream, & i taste salt-sea air on the tip of my tongue. muddy oceans longing for a shore, always out of reach. ~tell me again, what it means to love~
A former member wrote: Aww! That was absolutely lovely. It made me feel all giggly inside, and fluttery. I guess that's what it's supposed to do then.
