Senseless

I can smell you in my dreams
You walk in the moonlight wreathed in smoke
When the wind shifts, I can almost taste you
Your footsteps echo on the lonely road
If only I could walk that road with you...
Our steps matching rhythms making harmony
As I enfold myself in your scent
Sampling the salty sweetness of your kisses
While the fog envelops us both

Turnstiles of Time

Will you miss me when I’m gone?

When the dust clears

And the smoke settles

Will the memories fade?

As the lights dime

And the curtains close

The people pass through

The turnstiles of time

I want to leave my mark

#miss, #me, #gone, #dust, #clears, #smoke, #settles, #memories,  #fade, #lights, #dim, #curtains, #close, #people, #pass, #turnstiles, #time, #leave, #mark, #poem, #poetry, 

Look, Butterfly

Crystal visions of seeking

While the smoke hangs heavy in the air

Heads bob in the ether

Sour taste in my mouth

Can I taste it on yours?

Warm bodies press closer together

So nice, pressure

Wow, is that my hand?

It’s in yours

How did that happen?

Can we stay forever?

Moments are fleeting

Flittery little bugs that get away from us

If they would only hold still

Would you hold still?

Look a shooting star

Make a wish

Not, me I don’t have wishes

Wishes are for dreamers

Dreaming requires surrender

I don’t have enough ambition

To see me through those dark times

I can only rely on myself

Take what we have now

Don’t question it, just smile

And keeping watching the stars,

Look, another butterfly!
