brainstorming

barren fields spanning five acres

seeds from distant lands breach the soil

dandelions emerging, white umbrellas dash

weeds reaching like wildfire, spreading fields of energy

unable to sprint away, the red goes for miles

metal strikes metal, sparks fly

admiring the fireworks

butterflies emerge from hibernation

swarming the blazing fields

where the mind wanders, the heart lies

mindless now, falling for a maroon heart

trouble breathing, tears flowing

spending spring afternoons smelling the flora,

and gazing at sunshine streaks

unknownst to us, i had allergies,

and the fireworks became dynamite

a crystal vessel, the ocean it cannot contain,

now channels waves towards an incoming ship

drowning whenever i sea you

beneath the cool waves, suffocating on quiet

coming up for air, watching the shores booking,

tracing awe words upon golden sands,

soothing echoes resonating from seashells

blinking away salted waters, then

hiding beneath the brave blanketing blue

dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, need oxygen

floating on the bright sided moon,

my mind that revolved the sun,

now glares from the fire

planets spin, the moon is dark

months ’til luna sees light

we fell out of orbit,

leaving only space between us

with no oxygen to breathe

the fire scorching me passes

when winter transitions to spring,

i’ll have my sunglasses.
