Allusions

Smile my only son and raise it,
Tango with Daddy, add the compatibility of

This.

Don’t say,

That I’m the one you want to lose.

If Kiddo can make it, then why not I?
Tarantino showed us the way.
Crepuscule with Muriel,
Days of 1999, in English 182,
Whose windows gleam on the animal warmth of bricks
Rouged by the fluvial light of six o’clock.
An infant dying of a cough in the Elysian Fields
Brings to mind a time of great sorrow,
Silver and cold were all the rage then, but now,
Melancholy to infest us all-
Joy’s grape did not burst upon my palate,
Sleep and Poetry is now, all I know,
However so these lines be done, they are now
Here.  I am still standing but watching out for
The black ice.  

The winter is so hard here, bone chilling wind,
Blowing to the core and I had thought that by now
There would be little
To draw me here.  Mornings, nothing
But the wind’s cold blade at my face
In a skeletal wasteland.

Harmoniously confused, chaos,
By nature we desire to know.
Desire to find, desire.
Passion.

In the house you were born
One of the rooms on this street
Knows your name, with happiness
Stretched across the hills-
What to others a trifle appears
Fills me full of smiles or tears.

There’s a door outside I leave it
Open, come inside my world.
There’s one life in here that’s broken
Be my little girl, cause I will hold you high-
As far as my arms go, maybe you’d let me in-
Maybe I’ll let it show.

You can look into my eyes and now what wrong
Don’t even ask,
If you want me find me
Ill be hiding under,
Leaves of Grass.

Pimpin and panderin, on a level you can't serve, dismantle, nouns, pronouns, adverbs, and verbs

this was awesome, so much  depth here .... well done! and so enjoyed...

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone though you're still with me
I've been alone all along..Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
