You open your mouth
And my breath comes out
My heart spilled on your chest
I know what happens next
Fingers intertwine
I’ll let you blur the line
As our souls collide
You are me and mine
It’s destiny, magnetic force
It’s only natural, I got no choice
It’s co regulation, a chemical bond
I’m tied up, and down, there’s no way around
If there’s no one to hear it, it still makes a sound
In the dead of night
There’s no black and white
No me and you
No wrong or right
I’m scared of my pen like I was born to write
That we’re two halves
Of a different whole
Trauma bond, alcohol
Dependency and Tylenol
Spin in a circle cause the daze gets me high
Truths and a lie
We’re getting by,
year by moment
wipe your tears on my chest
I know what happens next
Just physical conjundtion
chemical bond unites
two bodies in the same space...
I am drawn to your form
-why is it yours?
Perhaps just a chemical bond forged in youth
life's true mystery,
You and I..
the errant sleuth.
Decided now, no perfect moment -now or hereafter
without one in yours..
no finer mind,
no brighter laughter..
Spill out my barrel of blue monkies on your floor
-you remember, don't you?
arms reaching out in long chains,
wide-eyed wonders in color -just like before.
If only we could play for a day..
-would you ask me to stay?
I would for an eternity,
as you in me.
And when we grow up
finally..
we can find other games,
fulfill new urges,
primally.
The linger of your perfumed hand, oh my..
free will no longer mine.
Every laugh wrinkle placed just so,
to catch my eye.
Drawn to your form, oh yes..
but still I wonder..
why yours?
The Seen And The Unseen
You send to me a great desire
Like the heat from an ever burning fire
No pale of water
Could evaporate the heat from you
The heat burns strong
And deeply untrue
Oxygen is what I can provide
Take what you can
We will equally divide
All elements consist of a balance
We all have an ounce of valence
Coursing through our being
I can't function
Without your chemical bond
The seen and the unseen
So you see
You I am quite fond
Its hard to abstain
When with you I accumulate much gain
I will retain any energy you send my way
As long as we carry on and live for today
I absorb the beauty you fill my vision with
I absorb the fiery smoked air with my lungs
Giving me a taste of the old oak tree
The old soul that yearns to be.

You are not pretty as much as others,
who are after me bad,
but I do not seem to find it so,
you appear more soulful to me,
and that is what I find prettier,
I do not know what "soulful" stands for,
but that is the word that comes to mind,
which I use to explain whenever you are around,
probably its your air,
and your attention to me,
that sums it up,
or may be that your eyes search me out of the crowd,
that explains a bloody lot,
its hardly physical,
and much more,
but its also totally physical and nothing else,
I am confused,
my chemicals surge out to you,
whenever you are around,
my magnetic aura rushes to you,
doing the madly rounds,
who cares for your facial and bodily beauty,
which will wither with age,
come let us search together,
and strengthen this chemical bond.
