Analysis of Aspirations



I have aspirations of existing in the air of another.
The on I could understand could have children be a mother.
Amazed by the sight of your shade in any weather.
So amazed my eyes turned blue holding back the tears of a gorgeous feather.
The scenery above and below us does not compare.
The strength of your health shaping your body I stare.
Whether you need to be tempted running my fingers through your gorgeous hair.
Running like strawberry fields without a care.
Kissing your candy lips beside the stars.
With no passers by and no cars.
Can you excuse me for the scar?
You had left me from a far.
Of what happened on that fateful day.
I saw you and stared away.
Solidly did not push you away.
Believing in this righteous day.
