A Cup Full Of Oil

A Cup Full Of Oil


Some places are meant to be left.
Only in memories can they
truly come alive.
And the pain sifts
to the bottom as all the beauty
and all the good
sit on top like
oil on
water.

Some places look better in the rain.
I have my routes
that I only drive in storms.
The sun can taint a scene, exposing faded colors
and giving a cheery personality to something
meant to be dulled by dark
clouds and falling drops.

Some places are hell.
Not the after-death.
But places that are currently real and
impossibly inescapable. Crumbled minds,
battered spirits and ravaged lands can testify that death
is death is death.

But some places are meant for love.
My arms
and my heart.
Your world
and mine.
Life
and death.

A cup full of oil.
