Begin Again

‘Til death
Was the agreement
Yet, full of health
And now, my wealth
You’ve become independent

Empty rooms yearn
Hallways erode and hollow
What is there to learn
When there’s only sorrow
What can break the silence
To my heart, it is endless violence

Body refuses to eat
Mind refuses to sleep
Voices begin to slowly creep
I don’t think this is something I can beat
Conceal the tan-line
Don’t let yourself torture and pine

Forgive and forget
Advice for those who don’t fret
Get over by getting under
Advice that might help, I wonder?
Drink plenty of wine
A favorite of mine

One day, you entered the train
While I stepped off
First thought to enter my brain:
Our time wasn’t enough
Next thought:
I hope you’re happy
and found everything you sought

First Date

Meet at the Coffee Shop,
Read the text
I couldn’t make my heart stop!
What would come next?
Arriving first on that warm winter day
Impossible to keep the nerves at bay

When you turned the corner
And came into view
Right then and there, I just knew
My days of being a loner
Were bound for the rearview

Hours and hours we talked
Miles and miles we walked
A quick meet and greet
Transitioned into:
Want to get something to eat?

Wide-eyed smiles
That would rival the distance of the Nile
Shared laughter
From personal stories and banter
Sampling each other’s food
Sunsetting kind of mood

We ended up at your place
The night didn’t go to waste
Driving home In bliss
I endlessly reminisced
about that goodnight kiss

You entered my atmosphere
So happy, I could burst into tears
Twelve hours ago I had no clue
But right then and there, I just knew
As sure as the rise of the sun
This was going to be the one

Sunrise, Sunset

Today the sun rose,
And the sun set.
Bed cold,
Eyes wet.
Who could've foretold?
Who could've bet?
Days apart
Could drain
The heart.

Today the sun rose,
And the sun set.
You're still the handsomest man
I've ever met.
From your nose
To your toes.
A tender heart,
A shining soul.
That smile,
I'll never forget.

Today the sun rose,
And the sun set.
I found an old shirt
That held your scent.
Not long ago
We met in flirt.
Now, who can stitch and sew
Away this hurt?

Today the sun rose,
And the sun set.
Counting the light
In the canvas night.
Even though far,
Even though wide,
I could see your star.
I could feel you fly.

Today the sun rose.
Cold, and in a froze,
I did not.
Taking flight,
Only one thought;
Only one whom I sought…
The smile I never forgot.

Today the sun did not set.
It shined,
And shined.
For again, we met.
Never to part.
Forever in flight.
Forever entwined.
Once more,
Everything was right.
