Frozen Gauze To Dress My Wounds

Frozen Gauze To Dress My Wounds

All I can offer you
Is tea for one
Swirl to thrill
Breaking me to love
All the oh my gods
Glad I’m not it
Spinning nothing wrong

Some of what matters
Has flown to warmer places
Crushing inner snows
Piling in drifts
Next to sands
Sand and snow
What’s the difference
When nothing grows

Taste is a matter of trying
You’ll find the ones you like
The lines get longer
While you decide to combine
Dance steps you find tantalizing
They never seem to bring us miracles
I don’t blame you
Because I need you

Hot times and nothing was as good
As loving you
I was being good
And loving you
I’m very good
At loving you
You make me high
Hurt my mind but I forget it

You make me good at loving you
You make me high
I’m loving you
Starting to rise
Making sense of some thoughts
Fascinations from long ago
You showing me your other side
And I forget everything

All the oh my gods
You bring them and set them at my feet
All the frozen gauze
To dress my wounds and take the heat
All the winter suns
To burn me with icicle stares
All the dandelion eyes
To watch me with the everywheres

It was special for a time
I shouldn’t use past tense
I’ve only loved you once
I’ll let you know when that is done
I’d never let you think otherwise
I can’t think otherwise
I can’t think of anything else
Otherwise I would
Otherwise I would

What Is Love? Daily Don’t Prompt Me!

Love is love. Love is the loving of love. I love love, and I love loving, and I love all the loving of loving love when I’m loving the loving of love. So when Daily Prompt asked:

We each have many types of love relationships — parents, children, spouses, friends. And they’re not always with people; you may love an animal, or a place. Is there a single idea or definition that runs through all the varieties of “love”?

I just had to answer. Blue! 14! Venezuela! The Euro! Dolphins! Yes, I have all the answers. I just don’t know which questions they go to. But for this question, I think there are at least three types of love, and possibly four.

1) Romantic Love

I think that when you have strong feelings for someone that aren’t just physical, but are pretty close to an addiction to another person, almost an ache when you’re not with them, but not in a damaging unhealthy way, that is romantic love. It’s a deep understanding that you and the other person are much greater than either of you separately.

2) Familial Love

This comes in two forms – love for your children, which may have no stronger bond, and love for your other family members. For some reason, just the fact that you share bloodlines with someone forms a bond that is strong. But when they’re your children, it’s unbreakable.

3) Love For Others

This love is for all the people who make an impression on you in some way. Sometimes it’s one thing they do, or did, and that is the single reason you love them. This could also be more like a deep respect or trust.

4) Love For The Inanimate Or Abstract

This seems complicated, but it’s really simple. Songs, emotions, places, items of sentimental value, memories associated with all the previous, all of these things can evoke strong feelings of love. I would argue, however, that all of these boil down to one love – the love of how you feel because of these things. If you think about it, hearing a song, reliving a memory, looking at an object – you’re really just enjoying the experience, and you’re really just in love with the feeling that experience gives you.

Love has about 7 billion definitions, one for every person, but these categories are my attempt at making sense of something that is like holding water in your hands.

Girl, You Got Me Putting The ‘Dom’ In Random

The glass fire commercial was on
When I put the unicorn in prison
And we washed and dried and ironed
Like the spoons in the drawer

The mouth part of your face started making a sound
And those sounds formed some kind of noise
That was actually comprehensible
To people and certain animals

I had to get a new butt
Because my old one had a crack in it
And I waited for hours at the doughnut shop
For my fate and my change and a shirt and some service and

You
Something something you
Something romantic and out of place
Or out of context
I’ve probably got more stuff to say
About your thingy

A beaver talked to a goose about gravity
The beaver said ‘what goes up must come down’
And the goose said ‘you moron, you screwed that up
‘Because down comes from a duck’

And the beaver said ‘dam dam dam’
And the beaver said ‘dam dam dam’
And the beaver said ‘dam dam dam’
That crazy beaver said something else I didn’t catch

So I marched in the gravy parade
And I drank all the grape kool-aid
And something something made
Me think of you you you

You
Something sweet something you
Something wonderful and ininappropriate
Or I guess appropriate would work too
I can’t say enough
About those deals of yours that I noticed

This is the bridge of the song
That we burned when we came to our island
It’s nowhere close to Thailand
This land was your land and my land
I wonder, where would a fly land?
Probably on you, because you’re the shit, girl

I told the goose and the fly and the beaver
‘She’s so fine that I never would leave her’
And I asked the beaver what he said before
It was something about the unicorn
And he said he couldn’t remember anymore
He was just going to start making beaver porn
And I thought that would be pretty good
Because beavers are so good with wood

And I’m good with you you you
You make me put the ‘dom’ in random
You make me feel like Ralph Kramden
You and I are gonna shoot off to the moon
Right after I punch you bang zoom!
Ever so lovingly in the kisser!
Right after I sleep with your sister
My gosh I’m really gonna miss her
But I’m ready for you
You make my nonsexual nonmonetary nonromantic dreams come true most of the time!
Oh baby!
You really do

Before The Storm On Romantic Monday

This Romantic Monday is on. Write whatever you want, or compose a song, or paint or draw a picture, or whatever. If you think it’s romantic, just do it! And if you want me to link it on Monday, cool.

Listen:

Before The Storm

Sitting down calmly
Holding your hand
Nothing can make it rain on us
Hitting us softly
With our toes in the sand
A warm breeze blowing on us

Insane tranquility
Manic piece of mind
Excited to be relaxed
Twilight spiral horizon
Twisting in the distance
Watching the moon make an entrance

If there was such a thing
As an everblue
This sky would be one of those
And I’d hold you so close
Making some clouds of our own
Raining down on everyone
Falling down on the setting sun
Giving them something to blame love on

Before the storm
Keeping each other warm
Joining together becoming one
We’re the storm
We’re the eye
We’re the sun

If there was such a thing
As warm ice
This water would be that pool
Hold us still so we can’t move
Not that we’d ever want to
Looking up at the smiling moon
Ice shards playing my song for you
Giving them something to make love to
