Rolling in the Grass

I miss our voice memos

rolling in the grass,

the blades tucked in my jeans

rubbing against me as you

kiss me softly

Hidden by the shrubs

I feel the earth beneath us

and this feeling is unmatched

Only soft music in the distance

I can hear it

I can feel the way

my heart beats for you

I want to stay in this moment

bathe in the happy and let the

endorphins wash over me

and make me clean

Sometimes I'm struck by the work I do

too buttoned-up by policies

policies that have far too

much sway to my happy

is happy as a state of mind or a state of being?

You're a catalyst stirring up my rate of reaction

forcing the speed of things to act

a fiction needed to slap me into focus.

there's life

outside office walls

outside deadlines and meetings

outside emails and bounce backs

a tender kiss

and time stops.

Wipe away the fears

kiss away all doubts

this moment unmatched in my mind

delaying the time, we will depart and

say "goodbye"

You fed me with love,

and I returned my need,

my want for you

stay, my love-

If only time would freeze

Here, I'd stay with you

just rolling in the grass
