#10syllables

Drinking coffee by a window,

relaxing music in the background.

Reading a book about a sad widow,

with no one but me and my thoughts around.

The dream and fantasy of the future,

finished, done with school where the halls had crowds.

Air filled with the simple scent of nature,

now the sky is painted with gray clouds.

Calmness settles in the room around me,

the coffee shop is where I feel at home.

and bitterness is not my cup of tea,

Where all the places I may roam.

Nothing will make me feel the way I feel,

about the coffee shop that feels surreal.

Kissing you, swimming through the galaxy

Floating, dancing through endless open space

High off all the stars and your ecstasy

Endless beauty written across your face

You’re perfect like an unlit cigarette

Calmly, limply hanging between my teeth

With power to destroy me if I let

You consume me and slowly sink beneath

You are both my umbrella and the rain

You’re the music that elevates my soul

A dangerous magic I can’t explain

A burning passion I cannot control

I wish I could keep you here on my tongue
