Love is in the Air

by Jack Varnell

Today I remembered they say Love is in the air.
I’ve been stifled in my life–is it my life?
I cant breathe.

What I thought I knew turned to nothing.
What is to come is still unknown.
The one thing I know for certain ?
I am alone.

Feels like I’m floating
in a dream-must be someone else’s-
because my life could never be
like the one I’m living.

Deflated regularly with a loud hiss.
I thought I was on target.
Come wake me one more time-
I cant stand to sleep for, dreaming of your kiss.

It’s good to think Love is in the air
Lots of good things live there.
It’s the playground of the angels,
where the fragrances of the flowers fly.

The lingering smell of you is there.
I can feel you on the days I still believe.
On the days I don’t I’m left here wondering,
if Love is in the air-why is it I cant breathe ?
