| Butterfly Kisses Exploring a realm of total darkness Your pupils pulse as they attempt to see But you are used to this by now Living alone in your succumbing tomb If only I were to suppress the right words To explain to you the beauty of a sunset How softly the wind chimes through the leaves at dusk Birds humming their songs to the sky Sensing the night taking over Cooling the land like a damp blanket If only I were to come up with a way To describe the serenity of viewing a snowfall The icy flakes touching your skin and melting into you The silence you hear during the night when your shoes become wet Tasting the liquid as you catch them on your tongue If someday they could draw a picture in your mind I would tell you about your body The touch of eyelashes like butterfly kisses on your cheek The swirling orb of a single eye that sits like a snowball Inside your face Exploring a realm of total darkness Your pupils pulse as they attempt to see But you are used to this by now If only you had eyes Back |
