Here-

Another poem I wrote for fun:

Here:

So many times I've run from your face
I am so lost and I'm floating in space
All of those times, I come to this place

The passion is a constant heart beat
Yet the desires are ever so fleeting
So many times I've run from your face

I need the warmth of your embrace
I need to kiss your perfect face
All of those times, I come to this place

To the west there are open oceans
To the east, an entire country
So many times I've run from your face

I just want a day, a month, a year
After that, I'm all yours, I'm here
All of those times, I come to this place

I need the freedom of my youth
But what I need more is you
So many times I've run from your face
All of those times, I come to this place

I've always wanted to write a villanelle, so I took a shot at one. It was fun to write. I wrote it for Lauren. She made me some art that was random, yet beautiful, I thought I would write her a poem in return.
