Pretty in the Day

She has a pretty kind of day face

unashamedly so in the light

Never an upturned palm as to hide her smile

We had our nest perched high above any worlds

hiding in imagination, a safe haven for lips on lips

Summer kissing with a nervous unknowing

of when it would be time to pass by

Now in the autumn our home is just filled

with mementos of what could have been

and a chill looms in every thought I have

Diluted in a way that makes me uncomfortable

like wine in your glass without tannins

I am an unattached balloon with no purpose

with no one to hold me what is my design

 

Javas L’amer Hark
