Literature
read when you feel drained
There will be days
when your thoughts overflow,
teeming
like hot tea
in the kettle of your mind
and you may feel
steeped like a tea bag,
as everyone extracts
what you have to offer,
and you're s l o w l y becoming drained
but just remember
when you're put in hot water:
you have the strength to change it into something greater.
the sky has grown
caliginous-
the moon is out of sight
the stars are tucked
in the cosmos' blanket-
enigmas of
the night
and as I roam
through the universe,
I seek safety forevermore
a crinkle-eyed smile
pierces the darkness-
I'm so glad that it's yours.
there are galaxies in your eyes by Tangled-Tales, literature
Literature
there are galaxies in your eyes
There's a universe
inside of you-
it's been there quite a while,
and I only hope
you see the constellations
that scintillate in your smile
and I've heard
there's billions of galaxies
scattered in the sky,
but I swear
at least half of them
are resting in your eyes.
cigarette smoke
and
alcohol
the fumes
embedding
in the wall
cocaine lines
in bathroom
stalls:
our generation,
we have it all
misguided teens,
with dying dreams
(poured down the drain
by languid veins)
the clinking of glasses
and racing hearts,
we cannot stop
what we did start
it's all an escape- a sick paradox:
we're running
from ourselves.
