Painting Worlds With Our Tongues
We were legends then…
Painting worlds with our tongues
Giving birth to
fantasies
and our own religions
Creating
cities of sherbet, lavender skies
We never saw them decay
turn black like tar
We kept love hearts in a musical box
blue inked kisses and hugs
On 7mm lines
I could smell the dirt before the rain
Threatening to wash away our yellow brick road
And leave us wondering…
… what went wrong?
But we were legends then,
Weren’t we..?
Painting worlds with our tongues

Threatening to wash away our yellow brick road
And leave us wondering…
