PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A swipe of her lipstick

is all that I need

when the lights dim

A flash of her finger

is all that I need

to keep me singing

I stop suddenly

a shiver runs through me

smoke in my veins

chokes me

She keeps me up all night

I don’t know if this is right

She keeps me up all night

I feel a fire burn, ignite

Running

away from the smoke inside me

Running

away from the fear that can’t find me

Laughing

so much with her it hurts

And even now

the fire inside me still burns

She keeps me up all night

I don’t know if this is right

She keeps me up all night

I feel a fire burn, ignite

I’m on a wheel that keeps on turning

And it turns and it turns

Till I don’t know where I am

And it turns and it turns

Till I don’t know who I am anymore

In the dark

the flash glows brighter

the moon glints off

the twilight snow

In the dark

she’s flying higher

above the clouds

until I can’t see her

She lights a fire

under my feet

she walks away

without dousing it

But she can’t help it

she doesn’t know

the fire that burns

my breath starts and slows

She keeps me up all night
