Kim V. Poetry

I find myself lost again.

Looking at the world through a window,
Lost in love and its beautiful misery.
Lost in the shape of your words.
Lost in paradise with no means
Of return.

I can feel the music swell around me.

It’s like listening to the nightingale
Sing its sorrowful tune.

I submit myself to your love,
Matching our beats
Like an echo of a dying star.

Your otherworldly essence enthralls me,
But it is your soul
That leads me down the
Path of danger and heaven.

And on that path, we’ll dance.
Dance like lovers do.
A dance of the ghosts in the shadows.

My love,
Let me lay kisses down your spine.
While the melody of the eventide
Plays softly in the distance.

For we have until
The sun awakens in the sky,
To make this fantasy of ours,
Come true.
