Remember to Float

by BT

Remember to Float

They asked me why I do not fly,
I told them it’s not that I don’t know how too,
I just need to be closer to the earth right now.

They asked me why I do not close my eyes
I told them it’s because I see so much better when they are open

They asked me how I move so quickly

I tell them that I am pure electricity

It’s important t...

Spirit Animal

by BT

I can feel all of you writhing together
Pooling your heat
You are hot wires running through me
Electric as you cover
Your thin bodies wrapping themselves tightly
racing like wind to a wildfire
You are covering me in flame

Dangerous animals are fleeing these woods
as you turn figure eights
creating paths of orange and red
trails of yellow to black to ash

Heat escapes me as my temp...

Forlorn

by BT

Bring me someone new fast

No wait,
Bring me someone who is fast
and maybe together we can fall
through these sleepless nights
like stars that burn out,
we will slip awkward, as we dip
fluttering like ash
we will darken the summer sky
filling it with heavy grays and whites

We will become a flash of tumbling embers,
just built to spill
Ready to turn the desert to glass
Only to s...

Chrysalis

by BT

Chrysalis
Water
Throat
Heart
Root

I am surprised to hear my voice
so bold and sure of it’s self
as if it weren’t my own

and for a second there
I have to wonder.

I listen again,

There is a distant sound
of harmony and balance,
they are bleeding together
the masculine with the feminine

It is a song
A chant

It is spilling out over my lips

But I do not si...

Fire

by BT

I’m on fire
A burning bed ignites me

I sleep
so you can dream,
awake
inside of me

I sleep so we can speak
I do not try when I’m awake

What would I say?

I’m sorry?

I’m on fire
In my sleep
with you
wrapped up inside of me

The wishing tree waits
So I wish,
and when I wish

I wish thoroughly.

For I’m on fire
And I am going to take advan...

Candy Apple Love

by BT

I loved you once.

Really, I did.

It was a sweet candied apple, kind of love
a legs wide open, love
a love that knew each and every one of my secrets.

Love?

Do you remember the night
that I wrote testaments across your body?

You a moonlite canvas pale as washed wool.

I dreamt mad Van Gogh blue skies,
wrapped up with you,
my love,

We...

Joan of Arc

by BT

(part 1)

Loud, brash, sweet thing

Bring me some water to wet my whistle

For you

Love only lasts ten minutes at a time

Only this time

The time is mine

So go on over

Lay it down

Cause all your cards ain't showin

And my hands are full

I'll drop this heavy load

When words spill soft and free

Meaning what they s...

Broken Crystals

by BT

Crystals cover the ground

They sky is covered in clouds

They say that white is the color of absence

Just like the caterpillars in the spring,

eating all the pretty leaves,

you in a swift second
blow in

stealing all the color from the sky.

Gorging yourself on all the glorious blues and golden yellows

Pink, no where...
