~Simple Sweetness~

let's call
it a
curse of
the full moon
the purple
electric blue
darkness shakes
the trees
until there's
a comforting
stillness

espresso is
a fast drink
you drink
it standing up
and then
move on

tones upon
layers of tones
lingering on
my tongue

an endless
fantastic ride
where anything
can happen
nobody's perfect
I just
want the
most perfect
version of
myself

remember how we
always got
lattes before class?
and said
see you later
don't say
it if you
don't mean it

denial is
a warm bed
I don't like
to get out of
each is
there for
the other
simple sweetness
moonlit pines
illuminates and collides
