A Visit To Your Underground Lair
August 4, 2015

I visit your underground lair
Where you hide in eternal slumber
And notice a withered carnation at its door
The sunshine bounces off the stone
And hits my ashen face
From which oceans gush
The warm breeze actually chills me
And an emptiness swarms me
Leaving me with a yearning
To lay my head upon the grass
Shut my eyes from the surroundings
And slip into your underground lair
In hopes to see a glimpse of you
And link my soul with yours
