In Our Own World
The night began like any other.
Us resting on that dense black bench.
Talking from every corner of our minds.
Watching over the lawn and commons.
Those lights, like a Nashville Aurora Borealis
I hold you in my arms, your head on my shoulder.
The moon lies heavily in the sky.
like a concrete ball floating in the ocean.
The night rests on our eyes.
I feel tired, and yet alive and awake.
This miracle of amore takes control.
I lay a kiss on your lips.
A sign of my affection and admiration.
Your beauty and mind, their brilliance the same.
The tire sets in and you lie on my lap.
I look into your eyes and wonder.
If someone like me deserves to be
in the same room as someone like you.
I brush your hair and hold your hand.
As the night goes on so beautifully.
The sunrise bursts in on us, and opens your eyes.
From a night spent with no time wasted.
