Not all my aspirations are heroic,
Not all are born of good nature.
Some ignited in darker places —
A fire that refuses to fade
Without baring teeth and claws.

I love meeting random people.
To hear your stories:
the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We talk, we laugh, and we drink, but every moment is fleeting.
Humans are always more appreciative
when time is limited,
obviously.

I want to drown myself
in each person’s life.
Only to reemerge
with aspects that I found nice.

I wish i was a poet,
so i could immortalize your beauty in words.
But I’m afraid they would be too insignificant to describe you —
the perfect, flawed being you are.

My love, I wish I was a poet,
so I could whisk you away
to my castle of make believe.

I wish I was a poet,
because then I could hold you.
I would tell you of the places
where shooting stars have visited,
and we would whisper our dreams
to be carried along by them.

Together, we would draw our own constellations
and carve our signatures on the world,
marking that our existence
was but a ripple in time.

Drunk on your kisses,
swaying side to side.
wrapped in the music’s arms
held in its warm replies.
A tingly feeling rises in my chest —
Butterflies, encaged,
fluttering wild,
turning me to jelly
everywhere they rest.
In a flurry,
we spin and spin.
until the realization finally sets in.
The music fades
and I bid you adeu.
We're all temporary,
but I’m glad
I was temporary with you.
