My heart is beating on the verge of dying Your muscles are tensing My lungs are breaking Our lips are touching The world is stopping. Mountains sinking Oceans flooding Clouds are fighting The storm is rumbling While our lips are touching, The world is stopping. Your hands are claiming My body is heating Our fingers tangling The sheets are crumbling Because when our lips are touching, The world is stopping. Angels falling Kingdoms failing Lies are hurting Your eyes are burning When our lips are touching, The world is stopping. When your heart is slowing, My bones are hurting Your soul is fading And our eyes are closing As long as our lips are touching, Our world is stopping. 2024.08.23

Stop the world
My heart is beating on the verge of dying Your muscles are tensing My lungs are breaking Our lips are touching The world is stopping. Mountains sinking Oceans flooding Clouds are fighting The storm is rumbling While our lips are touching, The world is stopping. Your hands are claiming My body is heating Our fingers tangling The sheets are crumbling Because when our lips are touching, The world is stopping. Angels falling Kingdoms failing Lies are hurting Your eyes are burning When our lips are touching, The world is stopping. When your heart is slowing, My bones are hurting Your soul is fading And our eyes are closing As long as our lips are touching, Our world is stopping. 2024.08.23
Writing is strange, because what do you mean that sitting out in the sunset, wanting to write about an imaginary honeymoon in my head, about the peace and commitment lead me into writing this instead, an intense and whole other kind of poem? The tilte remained the same after all, I was too in love with it.
