Before

 

Before you die

sit here, snug in my eyes

where love circles you

endless and time-capsuled.

Paint me pictures of you

in shades of words

I have never heard.. before.

Write me letters in the wind

when all I hear is the storm,

leave your kisses in the clouds

to fall like feathers with the rain

Please don’t ask me to explain

Before you die

sit here, snug in my eyes

Of Life and Leaves

 

 

Summer slips quickly

Into winter’s dream

As fall fakes a smile

Amused at the lens

Say “Leaves”

And they gather

In layers lost

Before our eyes

Bits of space unnoticed

Until blinks are detected

Don’t blink

These moments have a life

Of their own

If we don’t give them one
