Black and White

Her eyes have never been so beautiful,

Filled with pain, she sparkles the color of summertime,

I remember her touch as if it were yesterday,

We danced under the lemon tree,

Carved our names into the bed sheets when she awoke,

Have you ever seen perfection sleep?

She bottles so much inside, pops it open like

A bottle of red wine, her tears the sweet

Nectar, and she weeps.

We’ve drifted to opposite sides of the bed,

All I want is to be closer to her,

She pushes and I pull, she goes and I stay,

She’s wild as the wind and I’m

Calm as the sea, can’t you see, we complement

Each other like the moon pushes the waves,

The sun breathes life into fire,

I need you to breathe life into me, I’m not alive

Without you, without being able to hold

You close, feel your heartbeat playing violent

Rhythms on my chest,

I found my Heaven. These times are harder

Than before, designed to pull us apart,

But yet we stick together, I’m tethered to your hips,

The sweet taste of your lips, honeysuckle,

Have I told you lately that I love you?

If not then, then now, if not always, then forever more,

I am yours. Your eyes have never been so beautiful.
