Backs up Against Forever

Dark Cityscapes and Bitter Coffee in the mornings
Ink Stained Fingers and Warm Summer Nights
Me and You
Fingers laced together as we watch it unfold.
This life catches us on fire.
We burn through it Fast
And Hot
And Violent
Simple words like Forever and Always and
L O V E
Sustaining and Completing us
As we spin
Round and Round
Making vague metaphors
And rhyming together under the light of the moon
Writing sweet poetry to
Categorize this beautiful chaos
And make sense out of the senseless.
As we sit together
Our backs up against forever,
Our smiles crooked and broken
(But perfect all the same)
The silence spells out everything.
I
Love
You.

  1. hello.

    This is.. lovely. Who ever this is for is one lucky person.

    You commented on my blog, and I need to thank you for that. Your comment was inspiring. I get comments from people sometimes, but I have never gotten something so wonderful.

    You could probably tell from the piece that I was hurting, and I really appreciate you deciding to take the time to comment.

    Your work is very good, and it will keep getting better- check my archives if you don't believe me.

    Feel free come back to my blog anytime.
