**Color Me

Hindered, butterfly lips
Caress periods of solitude in my waking dreams
Of you
Echoes of late night parking lot shoulder stares
In the hour glass blares
Choking my dry throat – comatose
When I want to crawl inside you to escape the cryptic sunrise
When I want to be beneath you
Weathering out the disaster
My world
Outstretched arms to feel the wind
Flying dragon kites into the tree of you
When I want to be with you
Tasting your brown sugar skin until I die a diabetic
The pathetic monotonies of this love-sick fool
The cruelty of weathered limbs
Keeping my head under water
When I’m caught in the outlines of your coloring book depiction
Longing for waxen tones to fill beyond my lines
Color me
Color me
Color me inside out
