in the arms of bliss

giddy like a kid at the sight of cotton candy and balloons, i am dreaming of going back - seeing you again. perhaps swim in your sea of possibilities or wonder at the blueness of your sky and the quiet of your evenings.

your love has been waiting for vagabonds like me. in a little while, we will be flooding your streets with car races and drowning your stars with our uninhibited conversations. and as your moon will be reveling at how much we've grown yet feel the same, we will be playing with the shadows of your dark curbs and dirt roads and dead ends. your crevices hold their breaths for once more, we shall be whispering new secrets and old hopes.

i'm going back to you. my happiness overflows with my sadness. my frustrations collide with my expectations. i am anticipating better things ahead. but first i must see you and remember who i was when i was with you.

come away with me

let's go. come away with me. forget about them. them deadlines. them hating you because you're beautiful or young or brilliant, or all of them together.

what are you waiting for? do you really want this life? have you no more dreams or whimsical hopes? what about happiness? yes, what about passion and wasting time and everything in between? what about regrets? they are real, like your pain or sadness now that you know you've made the mistake of forgetting or choosing the other way.

tell me, do you wonder about her? where is she now? your eyes don't look hopeful about the future. you are choosing to forget about the present instead of living it fully. what if you're really just a bug? a tiny one perched on the edge of a windowsill. anytime the wind blows, your flailing wings won't be any good. and what about the sunset? don't bugs die at sunset? stop looking in. dive and take your share. i am yours, am i not?

who do you want now? desire now. kiss now. take to bed and unveil the night of its mysteries. stop thinking it was a mistake. the heart never lies.

come away with me. let's go inside this parallel universe, in the corner of you know where. little bridge , little brook. i'll wait for you , same time?
