Description Streetlights lead me to your door
(inside west bound highways)
lying helpless on your floors.
The sun, silently slithering in
(after a long hard night within speckles of your eyes)
seems dependent upon your limbs (complete sin)

I crave all that you are
(whether sun dried, frozen or tea-stained)
you speak to me in hymns chilling with stars (coal)
Inside, inside cherry wood bed frames

Go on, save it.

I cry with each (deep) breath, hung across your wires
(you call out to each and every diamond)
to be always and forever (black sweater) inspired.
It’s time to retrieve (always selling out) inside villages of vagabonds.

It’s there, go get it.
(inside my month of may) gray days wrap around your hips
(inside this mine of mouths and fingertips)
my hands, they touch, they touch your lips.
So (feel it) now we know my lie, my tongue and my script.

I know what (you’d) they’d say
It doesn’t matter (inside of filmy thoughts) sticky to the core
It won’t go away (it won’t just go away)
You leave me dried inside this departed war.

Why can’t you follow me for once?

'i crave all that you are
(whether sundried, frozen, or tea-stained)'

maybe it's the homelessness, maybe it's the radiohead, maybe it's the open door on the wind, but i'm swept away...

'go on, save it'

the perfect combination of emotions.

i'm so in love with the meter of this.
the last line i think could be lost completely and/or revised. it is the only thing out of place in the poem (like a lock of hair that got in someone's eyes for a picture).


"The sun, silently slithering in
(after a long hard night within speckles of your eyes)"

"to be always and forever (black sweater) inspired"


those lines are fucking genius.

i wouldn't call it an issue so much as you're so spent by the time you get there that you're more focused on errors and a read through. ^_^

Angels flow down from all the buildings
Something about an angel just kills me
I keep hoping something will..."

that is wonderfully written. the sun dried, frozen, or tea stained part really sticks out to me, and i love the description on the bed frame.
