The great Mt. Everest
The highest point
Up here on the summit
The wind blows so rapidly
Fiercely, a show of power
But Everest will topple
All mountains crumble
Erode overtime
From the rain and wind
Constantly wearing them down
A beautiful rose
Petals flared
Bright and full of life
Plucked into a bouquet
Along with many others
For one smile
To wither and wilt
In the darkest corner of your room
The great universe
The ever expanding
Canvas of stars and galaxies
Painting the night sky
The beauty and unknown
That will one day
Be the last thing we see
All the love in the world
Shadowed by the hate
Eating at it everyday
Until there is none left
Every hour, every minute
A fleeting moment
Why can’t we just live
And enjoy what small time we have
Take my hand
Let’s run away from this place
And change our names
We have been taught and told
Great things never last
So let’s grow old
And forget about our past
We can prove them wrong
Because love follows no rules
My love, come along
Two hearts, two fools
