eloquent.

you will be a sand castle builder.
childish and carefree.
artistic.
motivated.

you will let your hair down.
relaxed and unproductive.
mellow.
passe.

your words will lie down like lovers.

i will be your patient imagination.
twisting and turning.
weaving and bobbing in and out of your thoughts.

i will be your midnight snack.
sinful and satisfying.
discreetly wild.
contagiously addicting.

you are eloquent.
 passionate.
driven yet subdued.
obsessed with the prospect of love.

you are fashion.
causally formal.
jeans and jewels.
a visage of self confidence.

i am an old guitar.
faded and worn.
out of tune but beautifully strung.
living to sing my songs.

i am daydreams.
talking but never chasing.
wishing.
hoping.

we are.
laughter.
chemical.
fluid.

we breathe.
mayhem.
innocence.
curiosity.

we feel.
coffee stained memories.
black and white photos.
steamy mirrors.

you are.
i am.
we become.

you paint fingernails.
i paint window trim.

you walk the dogs.
i walk to work.

you read your novels.
i read your mind.

wash.
dry.
rinse.
repeat.

you drive the car.
i drive you crazy.

i spill the drinks.
you spill the beans.

we plant the flowers.
we watch them grow.

drip goes the faucet i promise to fix.
drop goes your favorite mug.

you are eloquent.
grace.
beauty in slow motion.

you possess.
light in shadows.
influence in chivalry.
a righteous infatuation.

you dictate.
my mood.
my mind.
my means.

i speak in riddles.
i walk with tomorrows.
i sleep on emotion.

we race on adventures.
we feast on karma.
we fly on melodies.

runaway.

have you ever wanted to escape?
just pack your bags.
choose a flight.
and disappear.

no plan.
no money.
nobody.

new faces.
new voices.
new places.

it'd be nice to go somewhere where you can introduce yourself without any prejudice in your pockets.
they don't know your history, and you don't know their's.
it's you and a clean slate.

no more bad dreams.
no more drama.
no more worry.

being out of your element places you in a higher sense of things.
you are on your best behavior.
bringing only good to the table.
or sometimes.
is it better to be alone.

a dark hotel room.
air conditioner blasting cold warmth.
tiny soap.
tiny shampoo.
tiny towels.
do not disturb signs.

someone, come rescue me.
