the buzz of a city as we settle in it's majesty

Night Shine 

I've fallen.
I've fallen and hit the ground,
soft dirt and lemon grass.
I've crashed through the floor
of our flimsy intentions
only to be softly awoken by
the scent of honeysuckle  
in the springtime,
and your breath on my neck,
dew in the early mornings.
Lately I have been wandering the gardens
to watch the carnations dance 
with the roses under the moonlight.
The sweet air is intoxicating,
and we are still,
gracefully following
the quickened
two-step with our silent eyes.
Do you remember to kiss the
moon before you drop her hand
each night?
She waits for you always,
dancing in her lonesome skies.


In other news..

So a while ago I did a "you know your life sucks when...."
Well, today, in honor of my happy spirits and the warm weather I'm officially starting the

You Know Your Life is Awesome When...

1) it's warm enough to wear a summer dress (unfortunately you do not realize it is a little bit see through and the streets are extra windy...oops)
2) you know everything (and more) about the renaissance artists your professor lectures about in class [you feel more enlightened than the rest of your peers, even if it's just for the hour]
3) you are exactly one week away from being reunited with one of your favorite people [and reliving the epic sleepovers that happened every weekend second semester senior year]
4) you spend three hours in the park people-watching and listening to a 1920's band that sort of reminds you of an epic Great Gatsby party.
5) your eyes are graced with an extra large dose of cute dogs and cute babies (you consider snatching one...or two..)
6) you eat a salad for dinner (and LIKE it)
7) you then journey to the most fantastic little popsicle place where they dip the frozen treats in any flavor chocolate...
8) you end your night with a midnight mac-and-cheese run that's just the right amount gooey and just the right amount crispy and you remember why you love living on MacDougal Street
9) you don't feel too bad about spending money because it's to cure your hunger pains craves...that's a perfectly good excuse...
10) you can go to bed with the windows open and hear the sounds of summer all night long
