Upside down rain dropsA Poem by Count HumilusSilence of meUpside down parallel between you and the rain Gentle enough to not be noticed by the late September tourist I can smell someone close by Feel intangible tear drops, land on my forearm A fireplace to burn my worries away A deep river to bury your burdens Sleep and rest my soul next to your own Let someone take a picture and develop it on our own I want more then my heart needs I breathe less then I should A leap of chords, Strummed by shadows blessing Bare feet and red wine Record players and your beauty in my reflection A feeling on top of happiness, brings me to my present day Shimmering lights of my city squint at me before opening fully A tall green vase A stolen rose An exposed photo Night sky through the trees Please don’t look down at me Memory of benches and innocence Cigarettes and hard aperitifs Push me up against a statue, Kiss me where I go think Not with Rodin in his garden Under my willow tree I’ll write you a poem for the effort, right on the river’s brink Wish you away before its dark Leisure’s peculiarity scatters leaves to tend I beat a drum with no inhibitions I put my hands down, to take the hit I keep the mostly smoked, barely lit joint on the edge of my lip It helps me think, making sense of transcriptions of the mind Fall brings a wind with an indecisive direction Winter brings demise Spring enjoys disappointed expectation Summer bores us to activities My basketball hates double rimmed hoops Yell about spells Yell about 1000 days under the sun I need curses just as much as blessings I need dark to cover my light I want lamp shades made of time Neon signs leading the way Free me towards the river Rest me on the burning wood Concoctions of demure designs take action at dawn Sun hitting our dreams Being right where you need to be Stepping into ivy châteaux’s, And pressing send again and again Right side up ceilings Chalice on a saint Orthodox peasantries rub me wrongly Candle’s light burning with out question Portraits hands waiting Chandeliers white light rainbows across the wall Love is dangerous the harder you climb Breathing into the night Let breath and memory take flight Thinking good thoughts Pray to who makes you feel best Impose nothing, even on yourself Untitled songs play on a jukebox I hear it only in the dark In the air I struggle to hold my breath I let go Silhouettes playing guitar Siren's songs break my normal thought Hypnotize me with your totality Dim my temper with kisses Set me on fire with patience I am aware of the light The dark is where I signed on the dotted line Romance saves my vividness Allowing mornings hand in hand in meanings start Ears ringing Lamp post covered in ivy I am no match for infinity I am no one I am fabrications opposition Furiosity’s lingering grudge Old Young Past lives Fresh souls Lost time Melting sounds Foundations depth Statues and fountains lustfully lure us towards there erotic shelter A river flowing full of histories blood I slit my own wrist to bleed into this earth I nothing my days in a grave waiting to be burned Forget the worst Love so cautious Be next to me in my hearse I miss thought provoked by fog and uncertainty I miss thoughts of you alone in the dark I break free in dreams of you letting me take you apart Shhhhh….sleep is close Lonely has been here since I left you that day, leaving a kiss in the air to dream of feeling your feeling against my heart resting ours on coconuts made of comfort and sinking sand. © 2009 Count Humilus |
