Worthwhile

 

Your smile is a sonic boom, it blows me away.

I didn’t have a wow moment,

There is no word that can say,

How amazed I was,

I was lost,

I was gone.

I ceased to exist and I was reborn eternally,

In a picture book image of our first encounter;

The second I realised your beautiful smile.

You stopped me being a doubter.

I hope I have found my divinity.

You are an angel for sure,

Because no other could shine so bright;

Try as they might.

 

 

If you blew a kiss a thousand ships would be launched

And I would be found on each of them,

Pining beneath every sail

And waiting to return to your beauty,

As soon as possible,

Without fail.

For I would break as you faded away,

But my heart you would keep with you.

It would remain beating,

For hope,

For the truth,

For love,

For you,

For one more chance to see your beautiful smile.

Mona has got nothing on you.

 

 

And if I never return to the land on which you walk,

Then I will only ever pass through endless doors,

So empty of desire, so full of second choices,

Extravagance useless,

Gone will be the memories.

For if I cannot love one hundred percent,

Then I am surely dead.

Such love is never truly worthy,

Of roses that float like ghosts in the centre of a cemetery,

Never falling or fading, just staying afloat like a life jacket,

Washed away on the waves of goodbye.

You are the air I need to breathe, I am a discarded crisp packet

And I will float wherever your words send me.

Whether that be stuck in thorny branches or flying high.

Up or down,

You set me free.

 

 

Within your centre, am I welcome to venture?

May I be so bold before I am in need of dentures?

You must invite me in if I am ever to enter.

Inside your heart I would be sure to find only diamonds,

Built to protect and last, in your voice I hear violins

And so you must keep yourself safe until you can truly be seen,

As I see you now in my dreams.

Holding me,

Kissing me,

Loving me,

Missing me.

 

 

 

And if it never becomes,

Then tear away the sun!

Pull the mountains asunder like thunder and bury me six feet under!

For life without beauty is not worth living.

A life without love is no life at all.

Life without you would only be worth keeping,

If there was a speck, of a morsel, of a chance at revival.

All things fall…

 

But then they rise once more…

 

And if sight-seers and seers became transfixed in your eyes,

They would surely elide all the lies, for they are the never-truths,

That could never be spoken to you.

Only love is welcome inside my heart.

I am surreal; you are a work of art.

 

 

All onlookers would not want to miss,

Something they could never have seen before!

Such a smile!

So beautiful!

So enamored am I with the lines that you draw;

I am all yours…

I am…

So yours…

 

 

All dreamers,

Would use all their effort,

To try and become kings;

Just to be rich enough to see your smile. 

I hope you leave them dreaming.

For if they saw you, as I see now my Yen,

Then you would make all the broken hearts believe again.

You make life seem worthwhile.

The biggest secret you hide is your smile.

 

 

When the gone are once more at one with this place we call Earth,

They will find you, hopefully with me

And they will thank you,

For helping them to once more believe

And allowing them to find their own Her.

 

 

A pretender to the throne upon which you sit,

So they are welcome to take away all the fugazi,

For I would only sell my soul for an original print.

I’d rather be with you,

Than be lost to the empty vessels of those who just want me…

 

 

I think you need me, I know I need you.

I think we could be; I hope you do too.

I know if you could just speak, we could make it through.

I know, if you and I became happy,

We could be whatever you want us to be.
