Stay For Dinner

A poem

Hi Freinds,

Recently, I made some ideas into a short poem and it’s called Stay for Dinner.

---

Won’t you stay?

When you’re here, i’m here 
I lose all sense 
of self when you’re not 
when you’re near, i’m near 
a familiar face 
I once forgot 

In your presence, 
my heart starts beating 
it takes its time to simmer
These moments are 
forever fleeting 
I hope you stay, for dinner

I’m in love 
in love with a feeling 
Weaned of life, i was getting thin
A perspective rich 
rich with meaning 
behind a door, that leads within

I sought to say 
the next time we met 
It’s times likes this
in times like this 
I really wish not to forget 
a time like this

A time like this 
is almost over  
Gone before, the birds can sing
Gone before, I start my breakfast
Stay for dinner
Wont you stay, for a min?

The End.

“I miss this perspective whereby things feel doable, life feels liveable, people feel loveable, hell, i feel loveable, and all the positive reinforcement feels deserved and coherent. 

I’m used to these moments being fleeting, only popping in now and then, but this time I hope they can ‘stay for dinner’,so to speak.”
