“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” -Kurt Vonnegut


Night falls and in rest I see gentle serenity
Your celestial songs pacify my being
And your wintry arms carry me ‘till infinity
Hours are short, time is always fleeing
Long gone, you’re sleeping far from here
From dawn to sunset your heartbeat I long
Skin, warm, the morning’s kiss, if it were near
In nebulous thoughts, there’s no blissful song
Blessed with tranquility is what I had
A passive breeze that put chaos at rest
Night falls and sleep drives me mad
To want what I don’t have is what I most detest

When I yearn to see that perfect painting

That portrayed your perfection, it’s constraining
