thunder was heard for a second or two before the rain came. i knew it would
rain, i waited for it, hopefully. it washes away the oily dirt and
the dusty pollen of this morning, and of yesterday. after the rain,
air will be something new, clean and beautiful. cool after the heavy
anticipation that colored the time before the rain with yellow. now the
quickly descending blue drops blur with the yellow, landing in puddles
of green earth. angry at being overpowered, the yellow lightning crashes
down to the earth atempting to singe it a stinking black. it is
unsuccessful. the earth is too great, the rain drops are too blue, the
puddles are too green.
as the blue relents the clowds begin to recede and the yellow emerges
again, but this time it is calm and soft, giving light to all the blue
and the green and everything else. the drops of blue fall softly now,
shimering and sparkling in the yellow glow. i feel as though something
can perhaps be salvaged from this previously disastrous and un-salvageable
train wreck of a week.
now as gravity surely pulls down what is left of the blue that the sky
was hording there is not much left to say. maybe this sais what i dont know how.
drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be, that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make
drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what I say and I'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars where I'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air, waiting to finally be caught
drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where I like you the best and keep the things you forgot
the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
