Yellow Fever Dreams

Singing resounds as inertia bellows

Mechanical laughter bubbles from abysmal endings

Bubbles serenade the painted dusk that beats with atomic atrocities

Folded neatly in subtle quips, darkest depths, rotted burial rags.

Lungs fill, burning daylight as the exhale reaching dawn sings above the fireflies serenade.

Hope lighting candles in the hallways were lovers parted

Foaming desire from young hearts that froth then dissolve in the noon light

Sugary secrets that stain the cold steel as the latte flavored water exhales in choking applause.

Slim pickings from the rotted wood as the ship departs from the ocean floor to the shores where the well or pond swoon

Friends play our song on rib cages exposes skeletons unearthed for about a year or two

Colors of neon lights swim through our blood leaking then to the evening pause.

Bleeding out our troubles, and burdens now

Hope lit candles rise, and flood the surface now

A memorial for where a love sick sailor drown

Glows of simple light dance along the ripple waves

Expose the windows to our souls, grazing the life left in my cheeks.

Resounding singing flows like honey 

Swearing that we will never see ourselves abandoned alone at sea

Committing to the night we revoke our vows

Rise to join the sound and sail among eternity

Death is a pretty girl looking to sink you too

Among the drink

Fireflies they hum and sing as we depart

Further now than the start

Heart filled hands linked in endless melody.
