after this day he starts to disappear again
where minute by minute
day by day
he goes
back into his spot in the sky
where he lets me bask in his warmth

but he's greedy
not letting me fully encapsulate
the joy and delight he provides
by taking away a minute of his light
each day

hopefully he doesn't hide behind the clouds

otherwise this poem is a waste
if one were to even call this a poem

Before you judge, ask why is it this way?
Listen to them, take it in is what I’d advise
All lives matter is what you say?
Could you please try and hear their voice?
Kindness could eventually beat this hate

Listen to their cries, worries and fear
Is that really what you want to hear?
Violence and mistreatment happens
Energy & positivity is the way to go
Stand up tall & lift your hands up in the air

Maybe if black lives matter then all lives will
Are you ready to take part?
To show the world the fire that is in your heart
To fight against the prejudice and malice?
Each person should unite and fight
Remember to lift your hands in the air

Remember the days of soft melodies
Of the dreams we once had
The adventures we've been on
Those sweet memories

Of the scent of books
Your vast walls of quests
The ink of time etched onto my mind

How one can slip into the
Never ending nooks
Of the universe
And cosmos

There's a place for you and i
In the stars
Where we can imagine a
Whole universe
For our own

We are the progeny of stars
Children of the mind
Of the universe

Where we can run
To all corners of the world
And live

We can find
So many of our memories
Put together by an orchestration
Of the universe

Do you remember those times?
Where we could dream away of time?
Those wonders of the skies

We live to exist
In this beautiful world
To be happy in these moments

When i remember
I feel as if
I'm in a place
Farther than the moment

Dwell on the beauty of life
And remember, you can live
For the moments where
You are the stars and the moon
And all of the world

Do you remember?
Those nights of dreaming away our time
Of the adventures
And never ending happiness

It meant the world

So please

Remember to not forget
The reason to exist

Remember to not forget
The memories of time

Remember to not forget
Why we are here
So we can live

So remember to not forget
That
I love you

I hug them close, day after day,
And they hate when I start to pull away,
And they pull back tighter and tell me to stay,
And I'm at a loss for words, not knowing what to say,
All of her emotions are on display,
Which makes her glow like a ray,
Of sunshine in early May,
Outshining my soul enshrouded in gray,
Warming me, making me melt like clay,
Deeper into her arms, I pleasantly decay,
Making me feel lighter than a feathers weight,
Making the universe let me know it's all okay.
