I feel you standing there
Fingers slide across my face
A gentle kiss to my lips
Then you gather me in haste
The moment suddenly shatters
Time barges in, getting in our way
Yet somehow I’d still been convinced
That you would surely stay

I delight whenever you can cover me in your kisses
But your smile is what my heart most misses
And as twilight descends
Another day away from you ends
With lovely thoughts of you filling up my head

Inspired by the painting, In Bed, The Kiss, by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
I pray for random words
To fill this void in my head
But as time slowly passes
My thoughts only feel dead
Expired of emotion
So tired of the drill
Inundated with mindless efforts
Without any thrill
Is this the cost of living
For a future unknown
To sit everyday in silence
Completely alone
One day… one day…
It’ll be for the best they insist
Tell me… tell me…
Then why do I still resist?

Summer breezes graze
Each blade of grass
Whipping up the current
With a little bit of sass
The vibe it creates
Brings a surge of fun
Even as the day
Is now nearly done
The memory it leaves
Is an everlasting treasure
Moments like these
Just cannot be measured
It’s so hard to say goodbye
And yet we must go
As the sun begins to sink
Beneath its heavenly glow

I feel lost
In a vast sea
One that no longer
Recognizes me
Why must the tide
Ebb and flow
Wish it would stay
But it always goes
