Speculations of an Artistic Mind: Jane's Thoughts

February 2, 2016 ~ Savior

If I close my eyes, I can feel you with me. Your breath on my neck, your voice in my ear, your scent on my skin. I can feel it all.

I keep my eyes closed. Your arms slide around me, pulling me into the euphony of your embrace. You'll sing me to sleep, with your whispers wrapped around my heart, and you'll stay with me until morning. Your words feel like fingers through my hair; soft, and slow, and surrendered to the sea. The current pulls me in and I am weightless once again. Drifting, ever drifting.

Breathing into you is the only key to healing that I have left. I place my soul gently into your hands and listen as you nurse the wounds with delicate beauty. Please let me stay cradled in your arms while you medicate these rips and cuts, keeping miles away from the torrentuous storms raging outside. We could stay like this forever, and I would be happy to die.

Kiss me on my crown and wait for the melody to be released into my brain before pulling your lovely lips away. Pull the covers over our heads and forget that anything else exists outside of this cocoon. Time does not apply to us here; time only applies to those who let it. The time for butterfly transformation will come, but for now, just hold me close so that our hearts beat as one to the rhythm of the drums. Just blanket me with your harmonies and I will truly rest.

If I open my eyes now, you'll be gone. So I'll drink up the soothing warmth of this music like a cup of tea, and you'll be in my system until you come back to me.

//The Neighbourhood has saved my life, and this is my tribute to them. Their newest album entitled "Wiped Out!" is another work of art that has been my lifeline throughout this last year. But if you will not or cannot listen to the entire album, the song that got me through the one of hardest parts of the year is called "The Beach." Do with that what you will.//
