DarkPoetry -|- Six-Out -|- .carpe. fucking .diem.

moonlight.twilight
and a mixture of alcohol and sand.
we're lost in oblivion- present tense
with a matchstick bonfire. in our own eyes
we spell out immortality.

tracing the constellations in the sand.
screaming for freedom. we need this peace.
and the world doesn't understand
our motives.

breaking beer bottles on broken dreams
because under this sky. we're golden
and the stars speak silhouettes- the flames dance
and regrets are a thing of the past.
if just for tonight. we might.
live forever.

acoustic chords and prayers in the form of poetry
leaving lips like songs of photographs
and the moments that make life.
what we live for.

brothers in arms against tomorrow
and we scream -fuck the day.
we sieze the night and toast to us.

this saltwater in our eyes.
and life has never been more clear.

pissing under the stars.
this is the rest of our lives.
and everything means everything.
we're all something.
in this moment.

just. now.

we. are. god.

reading this brought a flood of old memories to the surface....i'd almost forgotten the feeling of nights of which you speak....now i'm left longing to re-kindle moments of the past.

"and the stars speak silhouettes- the flames dance " "pissing under the stars." where my two favorite lines out of both of them. I felt the immortality in this one just sap the energy out of my weary bones~Gothic

the only proper way to respond to this, however, would be with poetry itself... so for now I'm speechless.

I absolutely love this piece :) It makes me happy when you're happy, and who knows, you may just start a chain of epiphanies.

Beth is right in all aspects, the ending line is spectacular. You've reached the point that comes now and then. The invinicible almost enternal moment inwhich we are more then ourselves. We lose that as we get older and weighed down. `Div

I think if the pic wasn't with this it would have a completely different vibe. I like the way it reads, and the pic gives me an image of *peace*. Love it, Jon! Live for the now, perfect! Julia~
