LATITUDE
A moment of slumber lingers within the vines of flesh
A desire that may be passing by
With a slight feeling of hollowness
Mystifying the world with no boundaries

Perfect myth,
adding chapters in the book called life...
Enjoyable and satisfying, but not much
Just a sketch of imagination

It made me see an incredible facade of
a red, red rose
So elegant like an artist’s masterpiece
Unexpectedly, senses became delicate
So beautiful it provoked a rapture within
Making me grasp for breath as cold goosebumps confirmed

Please don’t ask me to dance in that song you’re singing
and make me posses the depths of your being
Like the way lilacs do under the orange sun
Your voice creates an impression of fascination
Making the defenses uncertain
Don't ask me now to let your magic brush into my eyes
and lure your arms into mine...

Gone are the thoughts and music that wheeled back
and forth in my mind
Fleeting enchantment that used to swing the soul of
emptiness
Felt obscure illusions once in every while

Lately, yes I did
Tried to contain the pleasurable latitude
with such great effort
You entered into my dreams
So long, up to the beauty of dawn.
