Alive.

 

I feel as if I need the blood

That flows through your veins.

 

I need your pulse to keep hostage.

To protect.

 

You could make me alive again.

What I thirst for is just beneath the surface

Of your trembling skin.

 

There’s a hero inside your eyes.

 

A light that could save us both from the dark.

You are my prayers. Answered.

Set before me in the form of a pretty face.

 

I could slide like Mercury.

Make a place in your brain

With my name on it.

 

Settle there between tobacco

And America’s Next Top Model.

And the color green.

 

I could be more than I seem.

 

We could drown the world with our misery.

We could smile at the destruction

Because we know it breeds creativity.

 

I could hide inside you,

Until we’re nothing but a heart beat.

In a sea of broken.

As I read this, many different images came to mind. At first I though you were talking about water, then blood, then caffine. Then I took a moment and let my mind fuz out a bit, coming to the image of insanity of a creative mind.

I really liked this piece. It was a thinker.

Great Write!

i like how this is written. every line seems well thought out and full of meaning and purpose, that is my favorite kind of poetry... its very intimate. i dig it.

a beautiful depth that falls like a soft rain. the mingling of two people so deeply into one heartbeat. powerful!

This, I thought, was well said
rather literate. The way that
things were said made it easy
to relate to and sort of made
me bite my lip and think for
a sec.

All in all, it was really good.
