Styles
Wrapped around in each other;
             lost in our lips
             with our eyes eclipsed
             we kiss each other deeply
             breathing each others air
             your taste seeping into my mouth;
                                          our flavor everlasting
moving between stations
with newfound aesthetic in every window
strangers take seats and lock themselves
in their headphones

tickets are checked in the mundane gloom
of Mondays
beautiful faces stare into the seats before them
exposing their gaze as hushed uncertainty
silent in the prospect of arrival

when overhead lights flicker
darkness is delayed by illuminating smartphones
providing soft-spoken information
of news headlines and Snapchat stories

hands slightly quiver as Penn Station
takes collective precedence
cups of slightly cold coffee
rise with unflinching confidence

pages of poetic conscience
lower their standards
and admit they've overstayed
their welcome
taking shelter in backpacks

strangers disperse into confinements
of populated territory
their energy birthed in the helpless framework
of time clenching its withered fist
such a beautiful sight.
whirling, twirling
against Autumn’s win’d.
twinkling twilight -
afternoon delight.

Somehow I found
A way to get lost in you
Let me inside
Let me get close to you
Change your mind
I'll get lost
If you want me to
Somehow I found
A way to get lost in you

Through the curtains shines the brightest light,
Inviting the day and banishing the night.
A brand new day, for a fresh new start.
Dark is the memory, but light is the heart.
