Sigh


Sigh

By
Nathan Caleb Camerer



Sigh
Deep breath,
For a moment
A past aroma
Sweet and sour
Bitter and sweet
Heavenly and hellish
Your aroma
Your scent
I love it
It’s tattooed inside and out
A ring around my finger
I’m with you
A mark on my heart
I’m with you
A place in my mind
I’m with you
Sigh
Knots in my stomach
Tea and Honey is nothing compared to you
My elixir
The sugar that helps the medicine go down
I’m with you
For better or worse
I’m with you
For richer,
For poorer
I’m with you
In sickness and in health
I carry you with me
Always with me
My life has changed
Without a doubt
My path has changed
The direction is up
Sigh
“I love you” is inadequate
It’s all I have
Sigh
I miss you
Sigh
I need you
Sigh
You are necessary
Sigh

32 Paces


32 Paces

By
Nathan Caleb Camerer



32 paces from one end of this house to the other
Plenty of time to think
What to think about,
That is the question
I think about you and you know who you are
What goes around, comes around
I heard that somewhere
Life’s a bitch and then you die
I heard that somewhere too
Where are you?
What are you doing?
Who are you doing it with?
64 paces have passed
A different song in every room
Every one is connected to you
Disconnected from the world
Living in a Black Hole
Where the Middle of Nowhere meets The Twilight Zone
A good name for a game show
Better name for a town
Slightly fitting of the current situation
96 paces in the books
This isn’t a Murder Ballad,
But it is ‘Till the Casket Drops,
Because I’m your Rapunzel
Jealous, I am
Time spent with friends,
Even if it’s annoying,
Is better than none at all
128 paces are taking their toll
Wet dreams
Dillusions of Granduer
Too much booze
Flannel sheets on an empty bed are calling my name
They’re white like the dress you wear in my dreams
Like my ass you threw out In the cold
730 days have passed
160 paces have passed
The Dreamworld is calling
I happily answer
