Kodak Moments

I'd sit and trace photographs that portrayed the beauty you addressed so thoroughly
Carefully
Imagining that my fingertips painted on this fictitious oil canvas the work of art that I viewed in front of me
Annoyingly
Reaching for the moment that stood still only to recapture my thoughts as if I lived in that instant
The resentment
Knowing the remnants such as your smile where all caught in the distant
Can I have you? It's now that I want you? So I close my eyes and I feel
The creation of something authentic yet unreal
These puerile contemplations I'm far from
To accuse me of a mental desolation when I've succumb  
To the ideation and the inspiration and the motivation inside your brown eyes
Because it is when you kiss me that I have seen heaven and its skies
And yes when it rains it pours but that's until the sunrise
See I know that I'll see you inside my dreams at least a million times over with the fireflies
Especially the ones that I'd chase & capture for old times sake
The concentrations I'd break over mental images of us holding hands happily like ovations we could never retake
It is then that I find that Ive submerged myself in wet dreams drowning in waves of an unforgetable sea
Reaching towards your still smile with nothing else to foresee
The awakening to nothing more than a memory
Thoroughly I'd sit and trace photographs that portrayed the beauty you addressed
Wishing it was you here beneath my fingertips carress
