Such a pretty angel’s horn.
Exhaling a cold, succulent spell.
Your beauty bows before a wretched Earth.
Defining,
Sanctifying a glorified whiff.
♥
Untangled, chained smokes,
Coiling around me.
Down through my senses.
Up on my throat.
High up above.
♥
Soaring to East of nowhere.
I am brazen.
I am a craven.
I am both, at the same time.
Unaware and careless.
I procrastinate.
♥
Disorienting the words.
Delusional prayers.
I am looking at you,
As you stare back at me.
You could be so sweet,
And yet so awfully deadly.
♥
I dive in.
Swimming in a sea of cosmic euphoria.
Toxic, divine comedy.
You swallow up my every exhale.
Captivating.
I’m stuck in oblivion.
♥
I burn.
You rave.
We dance.
Then we fall down low.
And we just won’t understand.
♥
Plunging into billions of orbits,
Up from my head.
I swirl away.
We getaway.
Distanced from a certain certainty,
An ecstasy of awe.
