Follow Me, Sandman's Guilt

An afternoon that slings rocks and arrows 
alight as the sun, 
cast behind the fire-eater’s enchantress. 
They only taste pain during chocolate evenings, 
the minds of yore sizzling away on the frying pan 
of hella tuff desire. 

I’d walk for days without a morsel 
if you were to stay always by my side, 
yet not even magic 
nor a Force on Earth 
could keep you within such forlorn deserts. 

Like raindrops slowing,
floating,
dancing and destined, 
hydroplaning into gloaming hearts, 
I’d like an order of time topped with illusion, please. 
Tea thyme, surely! swirling beside rhyme, 
that liquor’s become mind.
