Lovers often say
I would die for you
What I would rather do
To tell you the truth
Is to live
For you instead
Not just a memory
Lodged inside your head
While it is I'm here
I'd give you my all
Often I would call
On the phone we'd talk
All about the things
Ahead of us in life
Which I couldn't do
If for you I died

~

*A blushing sunset
tempts my heart
with alluring visions

Illuminating my dreams
on graceful waves
of pastel painted waters

Tiny seashells offering
mother of pearl wishes
entice my smile

As glistening sands
reflect a violet sky of
silent shimmers in my eyes

And still my thoughts
always return to the
beauty I find in you
