No Captain

Synths slip and soothe my sleepy soul,
Seeing the soon-to-be stages,
Swaying side-to-side,
side-by-side,
Suddenly serene and surrounded by sound

We Flew to the Forest

I’ll always remember how it felt when we went.
There was never a need to take a photo,
The things we can remember from a simple scent.

Snug and burrowed, stuffed in sleeping bags, cozied up in a tent,
the diamonds danced on the ceiling, kissing good-night.
I’ll always remember how it felt when we went.

Smothered flames left smokey pungence to document
our marshmallow-covered lips in wholesome talks
The things we can remember from a simple scent.

We traipsed through the wood with unknown intent,
Lush grass, damp moss beneath bare feet...
I’ll always remember how it felt when we went.

The glacial water pounded my head ​— crisp, pure and hellbent.
We floated below, shivering but untroubled.
The things we can remember from a simple scent.

There will likely be few times when I will be feeling more content 
than when I escaped to the forest with my two favorite people. 
I’ll always remember how it felt when we went.
The things we can remember from a simple scent.
