my lips slip swift less in the breeze
so i flush them down the drain
my limbs writhe and shake
as i take the moments from my brain
and make them sane
for moment's sake

the boy who cried beautiful
on my mind
telling lilies of the valley
of breathless words
that used to be mine
but his heart spills like
the water from my eyes--
not in my general direction

switches flip in heart's murmur
and time's tales of my beauty
soft and in my ear
again or lost in a heartless
cross of love and lust and vain
an ego's love forever remains

This is fantastic! I love 'time's tales of my beauty [are] lost is a heartless cross of love and lust and vain'. These words take my breath. I posted a rebuttal of sorts from the boy who cried beautiful. Check out my Phantom Tears and tell me what you think.

What ceremony of words can patch the havoc?

i like the ending very muchly. i think the first line is confusing. i also like the ending of the first stanza a lot. this is kind of sad and fond at the same time.

my lips slip swiftless in the breeze
so i flush them down the drain
my limbs writhe and shake
as i partake the moments from my brain
and make them sane
for moment's sake

the boy who cried beautiful
rooted in my mind
telling lilies each of the valley
of breathless words
that used to be mine
but his heart spilt like
water from my eyes--
passing by the starving fruit,
twisting into little lies.

switches flip his heart's murmur
and time's tales of my beauty
softly blossom in my ear
again or lost in a heartless
cross of love and lust so vain,
an ego's love forever remains.
