Unfound

And I crave your saccharine sweet lips. Enchanting melody overwhelming, snaring the senses as I gaze ahead, mesmerized by the delightful way the air around us seems to shimmer as though with a touch of magic in itself. Trace patterns on my lips as the world fades into the background. A tune no one else would ever hear, a song for which only I know the words. A song of lust woven into the seams of love; a song of lies we speak as truth.

Sweet kiss of death
Incur time’s wrath

Nerves aflame, your touch is addiction; morphine in true form. Whisper empty promises as we lie in each other’s arms, a tangle of limbs. Words I could never mean, promises shattered ahead of being uttered. A hush, lost in an abyss of confusion, a flush of regret and all is gone.

A tinge of regret as we run
The consequence of reckless fun

The more we wonder, the less anything makes sense. Swept on a wave of emotion. Indifferent, taunting even in superficiality, the stony facade breaks before our eyes. All those lies, all the pretence, crumbling in our wake, leaving a wavering balance for us to tread. Take a tentative step forward, stumbling on newfound territory, eyes adjusting to the bright lights.

And we give way for
Our souls to take flight
Stop worrying about the journey
Just enjoy the ride.
