Press before you read.
Salute.
Whenever I pause
In these tranquil quiet
Moments
In here
To think about all those
Long nights
We once walked by the
Hawaiian blue sea
I still get drenched by the
Sweetest thoughts
Of you and me
Memories of a fierce love
Which shone high above
The hot yellow city lights
Of a time we held hands
And everything seemed to
Be alright
But like a pale white
Vulnerable feather
Blowing in the
Four Winds
I then always remember how
You surrendered to temptation
And like an act from the
Devils favorite playbook
Our love was viciously ripped
From our cross
To be tragically forgotten
And by so many others
Casually dismembered
With no chance of
Redemption
Now I guess
We're like
Two depressing
Characters from a
Dystopian play called
Twelfth Night
A rotten
Shakespearean Play
No one cares about
Or wants to even
Remember
But I'll still treasure and
Carry those memories
Of footsteps walking by the
Hawaiian blue sea
Where I got drenched and
Soaking wet by the
Sweetest thoughts
Of just you and me
Memories of a fierce love
Which still shines so high
Above the hot yellow city
Lights
Of a time we once held
Hands
And the future seemed so
Bright
Of memories of us entwining
To make love
To keep warm throughout
All those cold but soul-thrilling
December
Winters nights
For the real treasures in life isn't the material or commercial
But simply the spiritual
