Impossible Astronaut

I know you, your something awful.
You banged your finger around like a gun,
Bang, four rounds straight at me!
I fell down into the ditch; every single shot right threw the heart.
I guess we both got off just what a shame for me.
Split my mouth right in half drooling like a fool,
Ripped my jaw right in half this was something I wish I never knew.
Mended this all in the wrong way,
Never had insurance so you dragged me back to bed.

Stars keep out the dawn.
Counting your teeth in the form of swollen red marks scattered all over my chest,
Counting the space in between our fingertips.
Restless dreamers, two impossible astronauts in a field of scattered stars I remember thinking I had something figured out.
Everything so close, curious once again like when I was a little boy.
Turned around next thing I knew the bed was on fire where did you go,
I just threw on sunglasses grabbed a book read it from cover to cover.

Could not quite seem to escape the thoughts you implanted in this head of mine.
Took a walk around the moon, flung myself into the sea forgot how to float!
When the sun came out, I was truly lost.
Good ol’ misery, I guess we both got off just what a shame for me.

WoW i want to say this is beautiful but...

This is a very complex style you have and I love it. like not much I hae seen and I have seen alot. the most important thing is that i can still thoroughly enjoy your poems from many aspects and find my self quite forgiving of flow errors or repetition heaviness. You are sincerly A talented poet or a talented viewer and describer of the intricate nuances of life and the cruel beauty that lies with in it. Hugs SS PS Great work! the two Half lines were the ones incase youre wondering. Jaw and lips... :)

A grenade is still a grenade

I have full intentions on fixing as much of my flow errors and hopefully my repetitiveness issue in these poems of mine over the next few days. Maybe get some air and work on getting into new destructive situations so my poems hold some verity ha. I am extremely happy to see someone taking something from my irrational rambles. :P
