Poetry: Overlooking Sunrise

Darius is a former high school literary and feature writer that loves reading books, listening to music, and watching movies.

Unaccounted days of strolling in the park,

We met once when it almost got dark.

Spine-chilling winds that blew from the atmosphere,

Didn't know that I would find the joy of warmth over here.

And when we almost trudged just to reach the peak,

We looked at the sky that doesn't seem so bleak;

Of the misty fog covering the air,

The snow that melts in the strands of your hair,

The water that flowed down a placid river,

And the brown color of your eyes, the sun shines, delivers.

Interlocked hands while overlooking such a majestic place,

We took deep breaths and slowed down our pace.

And despite the noise of nature that surrounds,

All I could hear were our beating hearts thumping with passionate sounds
