so i wrote this
i should probably post it
tell me what you think
reckless endangerment
I lay in my bed
looking up at the ceiling
begging for consciousness to remain
patterns change on the walls
the ceiling tiles start to spin
pictures drip slowly down to the floor
and in the chaos appears a woman
the most beautiful i have ever seen
like every piece of fine art
every sculpture, every photograph, every drawing
she was the queen every knight faught for
the pin up in every soldiers wallet
the fair maiden in the castle with a dragon to overcome
she was everything ive ever faught for, everything ive truely believed in
she was fighting for the lost cause, the little guy up against the impossible
she was my childhood memories, she was innocence and purity
but she was wild, and untameable. she could not be captured or held down.
she was the mermaids for the sailors, beautiful but deadly
the spirit of the ocean, encapsulated into one heartbreaking face
she was teenage love between the sheets, desperate for eachothers touch
she was freedom, beauty truth and love
and she said to me 'follow me, and ill show you the world'
and suddenly my eyes were open
everything was beautiful, the world became my canvas.
i saw art in every eyeful and tried to retain all that i could
i became immortal with her, we could do no wrong
but she was slipping away
the more I saw of the world
the less of her i saw
my world was losing its color, its shine and sparkle
my heart broke more with every tawdry sight
i wondered where this woman i had fallen in love with had gone
i searched desperately, hoping to find her hiding, tucked away in some exquisite place
until one day i looked in the mirror
and realized she was alive in my eyes
and throughout all of me
i had become the spirit of feminity, and now could embrace her love once again
i would show her to everyone i could
to give them what she had given to me
and they would fall in love with her just as i had
but i soon became tired
her idealism began to rule me
she demanded obediance to my desires
to her desires
but she was caged within my human constructs, now bound by society, practicallity and sensibility.
i longed to please her, but something kept her locked up
and i felt her wings being clipped in my heart
when i satisfied her was the only time i was happy
but keeping her caged was the only way to stay safe
she was reckless endangerment
but she was life
and now i must choose to live
and to deny sensibility,
or to live in a cage
and feel her heartbreak constantly

I'll give you a call this week to see if we might be able to find some time to hang very soon.
