Slip and Slide

Slip and Slide 

Another way of squandering such vitality,

Churning, swirling life-like dreams down the drain for plastic cups of utopian banality

It was so soft and sweet, you make me wanna take it all back

Find a real world worth living at 

Immobile whilst sprinting up a plastic bag of soap water and cold hose water 

I went down electrically easily

Lightening struck those summer dreams into bittersweet 

As bubbles rose up and scrubbed her out of me, tickling the inside of my eyelids raw

Vacuous vastness of dark summer skies blind me 

Binding me to the spot where i was once so full of glee 

Slip and slide, disappearing-

So easily  

Mirror in the sky of who i used to be 

A continuous drum, pumping out water and soap

You know she's only making things harder for herself 

Stop slipping and and walk on all fours

As the forest floor sheds leaves into its earthy pores 

Rich, hidden instinctive scent of wet mud and paws

No more sky, only a heavy, abundant land under your fingered claws

Beautiful use of words.

I really enjoy how eyelids play a part in your writing as well! I am looking forward to reading more!
