Addiction

i keep my eyes shut &
my heart open
to catch moving pictures on my skin

when i wake up in a haze
must record all the scents from the dream
that left its teeth in me

i bow my head and take communion at rock shows
pressed elbow to shoulder with strangers
i'll never know

close my eyes & drink up more
atmosphere
recording stories in the tips of my hair
catching pieces of the present
with extra special senses

i make confession in the streets
with open palms to catch
the spring rain
it’s bitter but my tongue
still finds hope

i can smell yr voice
burning up on the horizon
if you let me stand next to you
can i inhale yr magic?

if yr perfect fingers find me
under all the crazy noise
can i paint yr picture
to prove it was real?

i'm just a receiver in a
starry night colored dress
i disappear into twilight
to feed my hunger
i must record every sensation
& color in every drop of life
the universe is transmitting

i crave the storied hues
of you and me
when we make a connection
it's this lust for life
that's my addiction
