She Had an Uncanny Energy: She had an uncanny energy for life thankful for every little miracle it bestowed— and it made her entirely impossible to live without. xx Atticus by Naked on Cashmere

“Leisure” by W. H. Davies: “Leisure” by W. H. Davies What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. xx Atticus by Naked on Cashmere

Does The Sun Promise To Shine?: Does the sun promise to shine? No, but it will— even behind the darkest clouds, and no promise will make it shine longer or brighter for that is its fate, to burn until it can burn no more.

"Out Here On This Very Day” by Prince Neptune: "Out Here On This Very Day” by Prince Neptune (Cody Simpson) Out here on this very day We journey further into the illusion Adrift in the great dream Yearning for entry into the severed realm Do you know that the death of earth soon come? Do you know the progress of destruction? Do you know the strange new topography of the coast? Life closes in slowly around us And we seek salvation in copulation In drugs And by sunset we ascend Only to find that our minds And our bodies Weren't ours at all. by Naked on Cashmere

There We Were Making Rhythms: There we were making rhythms Jumping ahead of Earth’s own heartbeat Setting new times to our universe And we drank it in like warming wine We the children Running to deserts Pockets full of magic With whiskey spirits in our souls and our wings Us few the bold The brave trodden souls Tobacco stinging bright our gypsie eyes Kaleidoscopes reaching fingers through our minds To stir our colored dreams Our dusty hearts set aflame By setting stars and shooting suns And here the sparks become our loves And so with them we danced up Into airless skies and cloudless nights To make ash angels on moons And snowflakes of Milky Ways xx Atticus @atticuspoetry by Naked on Cashmere
