Let's Paint The World Together Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Let's pretend
Life isn't painful
And, love conquers all
Let's say;
It's how you get up—
And, not how you fall
Let's drown in clichés
And, choke on the words
Let's read a good poem
And, live by one verse
Can we say that we're heroes?
Battling this place?
Dominating evil—
As we live off the taste?
Maybe we'll be vampires
And, live for All Time
Can we turn into words—
And, live inside a rhyme?
How do we escape?
And, where do we go?
Let's say this is a Feature Film
And, not just a TV Show
Where we are the actors
And, life is the script
Can I be the spider—
If you get bit?
Say I am a widow
And, the venom is you
And, I'll live in a glass house
When you live in a shoe
Can we make believe—
Life is fair?
Can we pretend—
When we no longer even care?
Let's move to the Big Apple
And, take a bite out of crime
Let's pretend that we're gangsters
In a Japanese rhyme
I'll be the body,
And, you—the tattoos
Up and down the chest;
How much ink did they use?
I'll be a good joke
With you, the punchline
I'll be the jail cell
When and if, you do time
Can we just evaporate
Into thin air?
Will you be the Ferris wheel,
If I'm the fair?
Or how about a pair of eyes
If I'm the glasses?
We could both be like Gandhi
And, sway all the masses
Can I be Picasso?
If you're the paintbrush?
Will you be the alcohol?
If I'm the lush?
Together, we'll do this—
As we walk side by side
You are my oxygen
When I feel as if I have died
You be the coffin
And, I'll be the satin sheets
And, if you're the fire
I swear to be the heat!
Together we'll go—
We'll walk right through time
Like Johnny Cash—
Yes, we'll Walk the Line
Or perhaps we'll both be—
Part of the Ring of Fire
Hell—if you're the spark
I'll be the wire!
It's a journey, with you
In each way, my equal
Now, together let's paint—
This poem's sequel…
