Low Water Mark

Lower cases,

Higher intentions.

Were forced to present an opportunity, greater than an early death, suffocation by the starving minutes to success.

I promise, I kiss your forehead when you watermelon the corner of your smile.

Just when the sun and wind flavored a chance.

For us to rest in cuddles this whole afternoon.

Draft:

Precisely there where water were pulled away by moon and sun dating gravity.

I found myself in deep water, just deep enough to drown while still tickling the muddy bottom.

For a last dance, she said.. and jumped heartfirst, to recruit body organs for my disaster.

The date of birth, of this solidity I cherish now in softer times when sand is warm and minds are conformed to nature rhythm.

Draft:

Precisely on the verge of despair.

Shouting souls seemed to be burning in their very fuel that ignites the shouting, despair.

What have we thought to ourselves?

Cutting a gooseneck therapy won’t get far as long as the grass is dry, yellow, begging for mercy; please don’t step on my August hell?!

I pour my heart involuntarily into words, since I found that writing is the ultimate solution for a nightmarish sailing journey. I can still connect with you :)
