Uttered Smile

Uttered Smile

A Poem by John Wanderlei

 

Tangle, lost and precise

We both mix around like paints in a line

While raindrops drown out everything around us

We came undone to be remade

Don’t worry we’ll be stitched back together while

Sounds deafen

Flavors blind

Instincts override

When you uttered a smile the sky burned (chrs)

And the clouds melted rain.

Liquids and solids bend their shape

We swallow each other whole

Eyes burn bright when you smile (chrs)

Skin liquefies through sheets

Ice and water flow through veins in every beat

While volts run down our leg from our stomach

We’ll make a mess until we’re pure

And could care less to be immature

Bright lights bend

Thoughts are blurred

Flavors blind

When you uttered a smile the sky burned (chrs)

And the clouds melted rain

Liquids and solids bend their shape

We swallow each other whole

Eyes burn bright when you smile (chrs)

You know when we’re alone the shadows are so cold

But they’re the only comfort for now

We’ve wandered the earth

 And watched the lights melt

From many sleepless nights abandoned

But imagine life to be shorter if we could ever fall asleep

Imagine life to be shorter if we could ever fall asleep

Asleep (echo)

Asleep

Asleep

Why can’t I fall asleep?

Why can’t I fall asleep?

Why can’t we sleep?

While the sky caught fire

And the smoke filled our lungs

And the embers floated over our heads

We held on to our feelings for so long

And we let them slowly waste away(x4)

Bright lights bend

Sounds deafen

Flavors blind

Thoughts are blurred

When you uttered smile the sky burned (keep it for awhile)

And the sky melted rain (please keep it for awhile)

Liquids and solids bend their shape (won’t you stay?)

We swallow each other whole (burn each other down)

Eyes burn bight when you smile (keep it for awhile).
