Indigo coldness
obscures starlight
twinkles are lost
hidden from the sight
porch lights distant
shining bright
flickering starbursts
descending from the sky
crystals fragile
in frigid air
blankets the walkways
cold and bare
bundled deeply
seeking warmth
visions of summer
flow in my mind
half heard rumbles
steel scrapes
scattering crystals
hard and dry
rivers flow
through the night
herding the storm
to far away
radiant beams
warmth away
as glittering starlight
now appears
shines forth sunlight
new dawning day
as endless rainbows
spring into the view
enthalpy clings
to sparkling light
ascending the hill
of energy gain
crystals do slowly
with changing state
droplets become
and flow away
breeze slowly warming
attacking the chill
bright blinding sunlight
stealing away sight
Excuse me,
but we are not
chemically reagents ...
We do not match,
we don't mix,
chemically or physically ...
Even together, we are two,
Equal signs, elements
nonreactive...
Among us, there is no
enthalpy,
entropy.
Utopia...
Our atoms
do not react...
I am salt, and you
you are not solvent ...
I'm inorganic and you
pure carbon ...
incompatible,
totally ....!
dissipating traveling moments
endless strings of sensations
bonding with infectious strains
perilous hopeful infusions of helpless confusion
i sit here
i do not sit here
waiting alongside me
stories of me mixed with you
fear stomping the air from my thoughts
i pray for closure
*not the kind you had in mind
you will destroy me
filling me from the inside out
with delicious tasting dreams
like sugar-coated moonbeams
choking and suffocating on ecstasy
will we end where we started
distancing ourselves from ourselves
playing chess with delirious skin manipulations
running so far away from each other
we meet again on our decent to hell
my fear boils
an enthalpy of vaporization
[(symbol ?Hvap) if you must know]
ending written from the beginning
bringing me home
