you were of gauze and velvet pen
with fragile glass inside
and you said you were empty
but needed to be broken
before you could be free to fly

I spent my sigh words like coins
in the slot of your hungry bandit
pressing them into your brim
making your eyes light up
as each one found a trigger

your heart was there too
but deeper under the fabric
I nudged it gently on purpose
and your fingers closed quickly
keeping me inside and outside too

while I waited for your submission

You inspire me and make it hard to look back you know~
this made my eyes water...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were the whip of wind and playful slap
against the double sided window
you kept my glass half full
we fit the broken pieces so perfectly
face up in the clouds.

Hah! I echo Bel1e . . . JACKPOT!

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
