For Amanda
Location
Waltzing with heat the flakes oh they must burn
Inside my skin, the butterflies, they churn
Sunshine is as paper, it’s life a mess
When I hear you, I feel all but distress
Spirit of fire, mind burn sweetly sear
lines that cross paths, just once per moon, per year
And we go together straight to the snow
Amanda sweet, may god’s themselves weep with glow
what fools we are waxing waning in cold
inside your soul I see myself grow old
my eyes hold bounds with sights of red but still
Jealous grow angels when joy we spill
They all call us crazy, screw them, they smell
All I can hear in your mind, go to hell
With each upbeat of our mindless caring,
Because Amanda, they get hearts flaring
A whole new spot in our painting we start
Take out a new chapter, making our mark,
Sweetly, neatly, ascend into the dark
the thing that we have, dearest, I think it’s art
