Blog Entry: this poem was heavily influenced by the aforementioned Incubus song...
------------
this is just a phase
this is me trying my wings
opening to fly in an unknown place
it thrills me to no end
the endless horizon of possibilities
and yet
i am standing still
taking this chance
this is just for fun
i've never had so much before
and i'm scared for when that time comes
when our time has to come to an end
but you've taught me
how to numb myself
and just temporarily
push the doubts out of my mind
this is just a song
the melody taking over my brain
like FM waves in the air
unseen but echoing so loud in my ears
and with each sung chorus, the rhythm explodes
in a kaleidoscope of colors
and faster than i can remember the words
my song fades out into silence
this is just a dream
my precious, gorgeous sleep
there is a time when the sun reigns but the moon overcomes
it is in her darkness when i am numb
when i have the clarity to see you
where we slaughter our short comings
in a world that is solely ours
but never ours to share for long
this is just an indulgence
my heart fat, full of emotion
the high of feeling everything all at once
because you give me everything
and yet never before
have i ever felt like i have absolutely nothing
and then you come around
and i'm bursting with life again
this is just me crying
knowing that beauty can be fleeting
like the seasons, like the weather
but not like our love
a landmark in the journey of my life
when we say goodbye, my tears will dry
i know deep inside that every emotion
is only temporary
