A picture is worth a thousand words; Too bad pictures can't talk.

We should shut the world away
and ride a warm ocean current
until we have pressed our faces
on every swaying wave of the Atlantic.

Our eyes will taste each slow sunset
that the vast sky produces;
The tide chooses
which direction it introduces.

North, South, East and West;
The way that leads to you is indefinitely the best.

So do not go, unless you are going with the intention
of returning the burning tension;
every moment of yearning suspension
that we shared.
If you are prepared
to stay here,
show me.

Take the day ahead and paint it
with the most glorious colors and shapes.
Let our hearts take us on great escapes
and brilliant adventures.
I want to brighten this boring canvas set out in the stars;
take a paintbrush to the milky way
and trace the twinkling constellations
with the tips of our tired fingers.

We could break the boundaries no one else can,
stretch higher than any government ban.
This is future, present and past.
Let's live it out for as long as our lives will last.
