Constellations

 

My fingers tap to the reverberating beat of the past

The warm summer breeze rushes by fast

Whispering lullabies to my new born heart

Leaving behind memories of tearing apart

 

      The empty road ahead

      Is a chance for us to begin this journey

      Cruising below a watercolor sky of red

      I unpack your smile from my thoughts

      A simple feature that makes me complete

 

Explain to me how I’m deserving of your attention

When I’m not far past the starting line

Stumbling towards an unknown destination

With you several paces ahead, showing me the light

 

     I’ll stay up all night under radiant constellations

     Inviting a parade of familiar fragrances

     Your faint scent escaping a single strand of hair

     Drifting along in the salty night air

 

I’ll close my eyes

And meet you in my dreams

With your warmth nearby

It’s a peaceful reverie

 

     Your soft spoken voice

     Is my soothing melody

     A composition of harmonies

     An eternity could not compose

 

But this short lived journey could not last

It seems I’ve been deceived

Of a dream forgotten in the past

It’s just my luck this fantasy is what used to be.
