Poetry Corner* Featuring the Works of Henry Oaks

 

TO WIN YOU BACK

Still thinking of you

Each and everyday.

Hoping what was started

Has not faded away.

If it's your heart that I've failed to win

Then I've committed a dreadful sin.

And I must put your short memory on a shelf,

And figure out how to redeem myself.

I WANT...

I want to shower in rainbows with you

Until they flood the ground.

And shooting stars come raining down.

I want you to feel my vibrations,

Until they unlock your deepest sensations.

I want to hold you in my arms in the moonlight,

Until our souls merge and take flight.

I want us to eat from the same tree.

I want to wake up and feel you next to me.
