Musings
I wish that I could live inside
The world so visibly defined
In the background of the portraits that you take
While blissfully awake
I wish that I could paint the clouds
That cloak the sky and muffle sounds
To give them hues that cause your heart to ache
Embellished for your sake
My earth-bound wish is heaven thrown
Before it plummets like a stone
It was not a wish that I was meant to make
Each troubled breath I take
Your mouth, your eyes are worlds away
My hands reach for you every day
And the lonely canyon echoes each heartbreak
My thirst will never slake
The world so visibly defined
In the background of the portraits that you take
While blissfully awake
I wish that I could paint the clouds
That cloak the sky and muffle sounds
To give them hues that cause your heart to ache
Embellished for your sake
My earth-bound wish is heaven thrown
Before it plummets like a stone
It was not a wish that I was meant to make
Each troubled breath I take
Your mouth, your eyes are worlds away
My hands reach for you every day
And the lonely canyon echoes each heartbreak
My thirst will never slake
