A Shore too far-
You paint me a picture with your smile
Because you know the vignette satisfies me a little while
You know I’m so easily charmed beneath your guile
That my heart is chained in denial
Later I know you’ll call me before I sleep
Wondering what secrets I try to keep
But what if I told you these painful things
Would it change anything
between you and me?
Dreaming your whisper, I’m unprepared
To smell your jasmine perfume in the air
And the scent of your long dark hair
Blowing in on the wind from somewhere
But when I wake to the morning light
I wonder if you slept alone last night
As close to me as you know you are
I’m drowning and you’re a shore too far
I think some things should just be left unsaid
As thoughts of you run through my head,
Some things can just never be
anything other than temptation and fantasy
Daniel C. Nielsen
Might have to polish this one up a bit. Not bad though for a fifteen minute spurt of creativity eh?
