late nights
a rolling wave of orange atmosphere
crushes the blue from the sky
but lights the blue in your eyes.
i wish
i could save this as a picture
to look at, at four in the morning
when i’m alone and restless
thinking things could be better.
maybe just for tonight
i could be accompanied by that sideways smirk
you know i love
watching the rotation of the milky way
from a blanket on the shingles
until we can’t keep our eyes open;
until the breeze kisses our skin awake.
maybe you
could be my excuse
to not fall asleep tonight.

Hmmm that special first lighting of being with someone who brings out the world to us with a new flavour…. I think there is a big dollop of honey in this. :O))

There’s a magical feeling about your works. You’re very lyrical, you don’t seem to exist right away. I’m not sure how to describe it. You’re certainly not with us, Nathan. You’re with us, I mean, but not entirely. You’re off somewhere.
wow thank you very much for this. and yes, i try to keep my distance, so to speak. i guess i have a lot on my mind all the time, and sometimes i escape through writing
