• Picture Perfect

    Golden and starry-eyed
    Our distrusts alike
    Contouring our faces
    From fiends and fright

    Our shadows, distasteful
    From the persona we exude
    Blending in faithfully
    Pinpointing our mood

    This picture, so perfect
    It screams exhilaration
    Fall winds blow away
    The hateful exaggerations

    And it’s only when I smile
    You get my hello’s
    And you brush away my goodbyes
    Like wafts of leaves on a tree,
    Ready to tangle in your hair.

    And with a kiss upon your cheek,
    I send you along your way
    To a promising tomorrow
    And a thoughtful today.
