Crossing Paths.
The trees line the boulevards; a lush green.
We walk past each other; self-absorbed.
Architecture entangled with ivy; a perfect scene.
Beauty is everywhere; sadly ignored.

The signs are all around,
Clear as a starless night,
Will we see them and be found?
The sparks brew; finally bright.

Your eyes are as deep as the sea
I could drown in them for all days
Pick me up, set me free
Let me feel the sun rays

Shining your warmth upon me
Do you see me? Im finally awake
Open your eyes; find the key
I wont make the same mistake.

It's a constant headache; no fun.
Our pull to each other magnetic,
Like how a dasiy needs the sun,
You make it easy to be empathetic.

Our past kept us trapped in a box
The need to distract the thoughts
Running through the field like a little fox
Terrified, lost, stomach in knots.

Kindness comes at a slow pace,
Where ugly is right beneath the flesh.
It's in our actions & words, no grace.
Deprivation at its finest; time to refresh.
