Bees Drowning in Honey

I let you feed me false truths

Like poisonous grapes on a vine

A sweet manipulative honey 

That drowns me in illusion

Oh, but how I crave your perjured bones

Encompassing my naive skin

Transported to your ecstasy of devotion

I live, breathe, and bathe here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moondust

His eyes reflected a star-painted kingdom

It’s enrapturing to recall

How my mind turns to moondust when he looks at me

As we speak nothing at all

His voice lulls the quality of a violin

I watch him take a last drawl

To fill the air with sweet melodies

Leaving me fully enthralled.

 

Off Key (Desafinado)

 

Portugese jazz swings

In my room through a speaker

“Will you dance with me?”

I shake my head and laugh loud

Guiding his hands to clasp mine
