Her choreography is impeccable,
Her beauty is anything but absent,
The fragrance of her being is inevitable,
Her heart's content state leaks through her pores
As she moves a different direction
She does not miss a single beat along the way
As she approaches me, she immediately shines
And at anacrusis begins a new dance.

Please stay with me
Make this moment last
God made eternity
As a door that both
You and I can pursue
Don't leave me here
Pondering what happiness
May be, when you were
The one that completed
That beautiful essence
Of a true friendship
Stay another moment,
Don't go now, not later.
Stay, and prosper.

I think about it all the time
This morning I pondered it all,
The afternoon brought
no visible consolation.
As I sit and look up,
The moon overlooks the dark,
Like a lifeless knight.
Desperation overwhelms me
There is no obvious answer
For what is keeping me up
Tonight, and tomorrow's night
Throughout the lonely nights.

Remember the nights by the fire?
You would clench my hand,
The grip intensified by the hour,
The nights were long,
And I would pray so the days
Would become ever so short,
To see you again under the stars
As the moon would reflect
The morning on the other side,
Someone, in that morning,
Was also praying for a swift day,
But I asked them to wait
To grant me the longer hour.

Hallie are you okay, are you okay Hallie?
The way you smile, a different complexion,
You once glowed, an honest disposition,
A criminal once came, and stole your heart,
Ran away into the night, I can see it in art,
Hallie are you okay, are you okay Hallie?
You grew apart, and now can't figure out,
You have buried it all, in ice to melt it out,
Let me be that flame, that will melt that seed,
To flourish your love, I'll passionately lead

The cold wind scrapes my face
By now my hands are ice,
My legs are fighting back,
The snow is not inviting,
The trees sway back
And fights forth again
The wind is its conductor
With its rhythmic patterns
As I gaze upon the horizon
I see the stretch of crust
The many trekkers that passed
So many emotions spilled
As I leave the icy plain
The wind gives one last breath
The land gives an icy farewell
And imprints me as history
