sprinkled mist on my face
and turned the sunlight into syrup
as I sat on a beach with my heart in the palm
of a lover, the coconut tree above my head 
dancing shadows in the breeze
that rolled the waves just enough
to crash.                                            .. coconut tree + breeze = crash? don't know if this association was intended but it lets the first stanza seem like some dream and waking up is kind of traumatic..

It felt good, for a while,                i somehow would like "it satisfied me for a while" at this place.
but I hungered for red meat,
the kind of meal that leaves you sprawled      not sure, but maybe staying in 1st person would also work.
on the couch with your belt undone
and the tv flashing nonsense    
that infiltrates your dreams
as you snore, fart, and drool.

i love the lines "tv flashing nonsense that infiltrates your dreams"
