Euphoria

by F.S. Yousaf

Enchant I had fallen for you, But never realized that I had done so. Everything about you was mesmerizing, Like a summer’s sunset, Or a full moon on a clear night. A perfect, beautiful distraction To whatever I had felt.

Yearn I dream of you, they are pleasant And I feel at ease with the way My mind has painted your being. But when I wake, I regret doing so. Only because you are not next to me, And too far for my hands to feel your skin.

Desire She enlightened my mind, and softened my heart. Her laugh was a killer, The kind that added light to a dull afternoon. She was caring, And I envied that she beat my love for her tenfold. She was exactly what people searched for, And just what I needed.

Aspiration Dreams of grandeur do not seduce me any longer. Simplicity has become more attractive, As I only desire a small area of peace and happiness.

Tranquility As long as you keep on smiling, My heart will be at ease. Though we are not meant For each other, Your happiness still Means the world to me.
