SlumberCloud9

Dear first love,
I want to sleep on a cloud
And drizzle my love on you
And I want to hop on the stones and cross the river on my toes

 Dear somebody,
I want to stretch on top of the mountain and chase an eerie butterfly
Will you catch me and walk me down the valley?
Will you float on a lotus leaf with me?

 Dear charming,
I write you letters you can't read with my magical pen every now and then
Seal it with some fairy dust and send it through the cherubs
I've hung an invisible dream catcher above your head
To keep the nightmares away

 Dearest first love,
Will you sleep on a cloud with me,
Kiss the stars goodnight and put me to sleep again?

With palms salty with sweat, they walked hand-in-hand in a park full of people with mouths full of empty words. And then like the fate of two freshly stubbed cigarettes, afire and affright, they lay in bed, turned heads; she could never make peace with the stench of whiskey on his breath.

About Kissing

As the air from my nose divides itself from the tip of yours, skims down your cheekbones, And my gasps vanish in between the gaps in your teeth I recount, while you push your face into mine and scavenge for magic in my mouth, how our lips locked so well yesterday and how today, as you wave my tongue like it was manufactured only for your consumption, your appetite bobs off my face like a ball of oil trying to dive in water. I wonder if it were my lips t hat changed their shape or your intentions, your tantrums or my apprehensions? I wonder if you realize that the lump in your throat is the lie I'm choking on, and that my lips don't belong to you just because you have touched them with yours before.
