Two Pairs of Muddy Shoes

inspired by a fabulous weekend camping. =)

The stars blurred together

Drenching our bodies with colorless holes

Of a sheet sky

Mud mashed between our toes

And the lakes tentacles reach and stretch catching the tips of our existence

 

Eyes drenched in natures colors

Darkened by a rain storm

Caressed by the moonless night

Embedded deep in the lakes murky depths

Body parts mingling untouched

 

Lips that beg on one another

Darting away before tragedies mingle in the depth of innocent minds

Under a cloudless night

Tip toe under trees

Sun scorched skin

Pricked with the scents of clean forest air

Engulfed in mud

Cleansing my soul

Purging my melodies into some off tune lie

Harmonizing with the melancholy of quiet green eyes

 

Grassy beaches

To skyline eyes

UNLIKE

Muddy shoreline caressed chestnut pine eyes

Of hers

 

Echoes of ghostly laughter

Reverberate through the valley

Drenched in the starlight of meteor showers

Under a tent

Under a blanket

Inside hearts

Blended with unknown monsters

Creeping out of the lake

And the screaming scent of smoke burning at your eyes

 

Hands caress faces

Of strangers encased in past

And hearts soaked with youth

Entrenched in the shadows of an ever fading childhood

Scarred by the ache of muscles holding hands to the stars

Begging for a fairytale ending

 

Mesmerized in the lullaby of misguided souls

Trapped at the bottom of the cool lake waters

Mystified and tantalized by screaming colorless eyes

Shattering souls of nine year olds

 

Tasting sweets

Marshmallow hearts

Splattering the canvas of white paper story’s

Carved into the branches of the ever watching trees

 

Leaving behind only

Two pairs of muddy shoes
