Fly, Flew, Flown, Flying
Take my past, please.
A little Henny Youngman never hurt anyone’s soul.
I want
Control.
You saved my letters. Good.
Are they yellow yet?
Liver spots, skin dots and the heart, does it clot?
Like cream
Your skin, my skin
Begin!
Stick me in an envelope
Lick it
The sting of glue on your tongue
Campfire, Scout
Wanna have s’more fun?
We are everything we always were
Abstract, yet fully formed
Do you believe in Creationism?
I still believe in you
I do, I do
My old boss pressed flowers into bookmarks
These are yellowed, too
But you and me
We’re new
We have flown this route before
So just endure
Trust in every word I say
And make me stay
Or come along
It’s fun up here
The flying.

Excellent write, i really don't have any idea on why the hell no ones commented on this yet.
it's got texture,layers and style.
present,past,future verbs to invite Love.
a one liner to start off with
the letters, i dig the letters getting old,we're getting old
throwing in an envelope
the s'more pun
the pressing flowers also turning yellow
routines of flight
free fall or free for all? maybe both
well penned DeadEyesStarlight
keep'em coming.

Hi Samael! Thank you for your kind words and the reading list entry! Glad you appreciate the s'more pun (that's the next-level dork I am in life, so it spills into my poetry, too.) Poetry without pretension...just s'mores!
