Luscious lashes, lips, and red gashes,
I am no longer your prisoner.
I wish I hadn't the power to taste;
the poison of your lips
leaves me wanting more.
If you were a star brightly shining in the night sky...
the heavens would duplicate you among the darkness.
By moonlight we glide
upon sensual bliss,
all of our worries put aside.
In a lifetime, we make memories.
For a lifetime, we won't forget.
Hand prints on the back window.
You smile, but you know they are there.
The darkened realm
is a tempting invocation
when the world around you
is already starless.
A fresh canvas to forge emotions, and display fake smiles.
Colors that will sell to others and convince myself.
My heart has released my lips
and I speak the truth,
and even though it hurts inside,
a broken heart beats on.
What is sunshine,
without the rain?
I breathe in, feeling the wonderful things of life
fill my lungs, and pump through my veins.
For something beautiful left its traces behind
on something that was so gray.
and I drink away my thoughts of you
recently locked away in bedroom drawers.
I am no longer your prisoner.
I wish I hadn't the power to taste;
the poison of your lips
leaves me wanting more.
If you were a star brightly shining in the night sky...
the heavens would duplicate you among the darkness.
By moonlight we glide
upon sensual bliss,
all of our worries put aside.
In a lifetime, we make memories.
For a lifetime, we won't forget.
Hand prints on the back window.
You smile, but you know they are there.
The darkened realm
is a tempting invocation
when the world around you
is already starless.
A fresh canvas to forge emotions, and display fake smiles.
Colors that will sell to others and convince myself.
My heart has released my lips
and I speak the truth,
and even though it hurts inside,
a broken heart beats on.
What is sunshine,
without the rain?
I breathe in, feeling the wonderful things of life
fill my lungs, and pump through my veins.
For something beautiful left its traces behind
on something that was so gray.
and I drink away my thoughts of you
recently locked away in bedroom drawers.

If you were a star brightly shining in the night sky...

This line I find delicious.
The darkened realm
is a tempting invocation
when the world around you
is already starless.
And this stanza is quite profound.
I am glad you had fun putting these together. It was a very enjoyable read.
Thank you for entering.
