The city lights
expelling electricity into the air
and we're drinking it in
like it's new years
drunk bodies charged and waiting
for the sparks to fly
drunk bodies waiting to collide
because there is no touch
and there is no current
to force our bodies to move
it's as vital as breath
without it,
without love, without anger, without sorrow
without that spark
breath is just a clock...
ticking.

I can't read your poems without leaving a message. I just love your writing, nothing more to say about that. Sometimes if you catch it just right the glow of a large city, especially your own, can seem so magestic and even beautiful. But to see the stars you must leave that ocean of current, and they are much more of a sight to behold.

I feel the same I would leave you the drunk

but this is not about drunk

This about having something and being prevented from delivering it and almost looking for anyway out

Words are very good
