The soft ballad

Trickles into my ears,

Dancing down my spine.

Light on guitar,

Heavy on drums and piano.

It exists,

Like me,

Only to amaze you.

If it weren’t for you,

I’d perish

Because you are the only thing

Tying me

To this life.                              

You and the music.

So as we lie here,

On the sandy beach,

Water tickling our toes

And the stars illuminating the soft skin

Of your face,

I sigh.

Finally,

I am able to breathe.

With you here,

In my arms,

I know peace.
