indulged in liquor clouds -
I tell you made up stories
hoping to hear the same
and then we'll bite
into this fabricated fame.
maybe spend the night
in body flight
while hearts stay
autopilot...
but these little games just buy the time
to leave me in a silent rhyme.
no baby, you may think me crazy.
but all I ever wanted was for color shines
to creep into our lips.
and then we can disperse those kind of words
that make the summer blind.
and you can move your hips
when you want to...
and you can take that kiss
if you want to...
when you can touch me right
say 'I want you'
without muffled conscious moans
trying to stop you...
then that's when you shed every story
about you...
and immerse your heart
in a pool of my self truth
that wouldn't be water without you...
but I see you... in those prisons
we call inhibitions.
smoking
away all my soul tales told.
and joking
when I turn to words so bold.
but no man, child nor old
can soon deny the treasure beckoning.
like an accomplished poet friend foretold:
you're sitting on a mine of precious gold
but scared to dig
for fear the rocks would be too big.
and so you light that cig
inside casino tents
to filter out your fears
through clouds of smoke
and filthy bets.
I only wish you'd bare your secrets unto me
the way you do with all those cigarrettes.
