Acropolis

There exists a place crafted from my dreams
With endless stone steps and a view that overlooks the entire city
A peaceful place of tranquility and the majesty of God's creation
Where the wind blows softly and coolly like a lovers caress
And the feeling of being alone yet never lonely wraps around you like a blanket
It's a home atop the hills
A refuge for the weirdos and the self acclaimed freaks
It's willow tree provides enough shade for you and me
Sitting here with you, gazing up at the stars and stealing glances of you from the corner of my eyes
I want to freeze everything and be in this moment for the end of time
As you trail wet kisses across my jawline
I shiver and completely forget you were never mine
And as our hands roam and ignites a burning fire
I cling on to you as the tree dances and the wind whistles stoking the glowing embers
Coming apart my face flushed and lips swollen staring at your sparkling eyes
I give a sad smile, knowing the magic will end at midnight
Looking around as the breeze blows the fallen leaves across the ground
I close my eyes and try to capture this moment, the view, the smell and your strong arms wrapped around mine
I think I found another place, that soothes my heart
Just like magnificence of the waves crashing on the shoreline
Or the pitter patter of rain on zinc sheets and the smell of a good book
It wraps around me and puts a balm on my injuries
Cleansing me from within
I hope you don't mind
That I intend on stealing this place and making it mine
But I know the memories of tonight will linger in the air and trapped in the earth
Making a home forever in the depths of my mind
