The lights shines upon my nerves.

Whimsical thoughts exploding behind my eyes.

To be perfect is an unjust expectation.

To enjoy the spotlight is that in itself a reflection....

The wind kisses my cheeks

Reminding me it’s the bitterness

That keeps me here

The leaves float around me

memories still complete my impulses

waking to such a dazzling sunrise

I forever dream when you will be home...

Memories of our lips,

Only in those moments I wish

Roads were closed

Neither of us leave the bed

Igniting our hearts

Nuzzling each other’s necks

Gazing at the telling light...
