on the moon

Like a lump of sticks sprawled out
awkwardly, seemingly in a daze, my intoxicated soulmate somehow sleeps.
He's lying flat facing no particular direction, letting the
heavy waves set on top of him, not quite
sinking him into the floor.A lung rises up
lazily from it's rooted self and
the air around is still; so are his limbs.
His body lie motionless on that
unaccommodating dirty, green shag carpet. Saliva
glistens in the corners of his mouth not
aware of the rank smells eminating from
below. Electricity buzzes around his
head, dreaming a dream of something unknown.

And I thought love was blind.lol
Enjoyed this,it was different and of coarse filled with imagery.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
