Walkways & Petals

We traipse through water, the tapestry of lives, the textiles of pains. It's engrained deeply,
pawing through Lana, to music a mansion; where rooms are haunted, for holy a soul,
kneeling near a halo. We picture perfectly, to pocket prayers, through purgatory. It was
us, to gradual a death, to flex a breath; whereat—dimensions, a blank mirage, to dive
into madness; for every kiss, a bit to pull back, gripping a wrist; in which—a tornado,
to yearn to sing, through a silent voice. I cried, Rihanna, to filter through love, to hear
an echo; where Avril died, to utter life, to witness Adele. There’s a fever, to surge through
poets, to wreck an atmosphere. We perish softly, the grit of lights, to courage a vehicle.
It’s more the tracks, to scribble Sunset, to paint Brentwood; for what to know, a ghetto
soul, to stream through colors; where walls melt, for acidic storms, to drip through
ecstasy. I felt Beyoncè, to scream of liquor, an integral life; in which—to cherish, an
aching grief, to reach a miracle; where eyes are heavy, to rope for syllables, to piece with
diligence; for there’s a river, in a lotus-soul, where petals are torn; whereat—for tissue,
a mind to weather, the storm of times. I read it in death, for years outspoken, to outsoar
an oozing cry; where to speak—is for summons, cringing in a dark room. We love it to
blossom, to bud upon membranes, a dungeon for cries. The hurt is the icing, with such
abandon, to dismiss the rain; for it wasn’t them, but more addiction, where time is
limited. I ache this cut, to carry a boulder, drifting through a psyche; for earth is motion,
to pause the traffic, to catch a glimpse; where love is miracle, to harness affliction,
for souls have met; whereat—is growth, a want to unlatch—an evergreen mind.
