Array ( [sid] => 87015 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Oil and Water [time] => 2005-03-09 21:34:58 [hometext] => Consequences considered. 'There are those who think, and those who dream. I, for one, refuse to choose between the two!' I should have been writing a paper. [bodytext] => Wandering soul let me save you
Because I've never succeeded before
Let me free you, let you know
You'll be the first who will make it to shore.

(Your smile means the world to me
Though the world doesn't rotate for smiles.)

If your crystalline eyes should shatter
I'll let you know how much I cried for you
I can't see the world unless you show me
There are none of your rose tints, nor shades of blue.

(Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But when you'd already die for someone
What more can you give?)

I'm sane enough to sink
With the realization I'm a fool
And fool enough to think
I can get out if you pull.

(And I don't know the words to say
But I speak them anyway.)

You gave me the moon
- I put it back in the sky -
Because I was the only one
Who saw the stars die.

(I keep wasting every breath
Wishing for it to be pure)

I don't need a supernova
Or even a present day superman
I need the air to smell like air -
For you to leave while you can.

And sometimes
[but only sometimes]
She even dreams in color.

Intelligence and sensitivity both shine in your words. Every line's excellent.
I think this is one of the poems I've read on this site today.

Glad to have read this.

There is more to this than i'm capable of understanding, and I won't sully it's flawlessness with ideas and theories. Rather, i'll let the intricate, fragile words say everything they're meant to say, and to whom they are meant to say it.

Keep writing (because your emotion makes me feel alive),
