Getting lost is not a waste of time
Hummingbird hovers, undecided on whether to stay or go
She knows this bloom from before, oozing sweetness, always welcoming
Yet, a buzzing party with a long line to nowhere, reels her in

Summer crushed strawberry lips, uttered my name one day in class
My heartbeat chose to stumble,and before I could mumble
She looked up and frowned, then went on ahead with the roll call

somewhere near the afternoon
the sun lit up a dream I'd drawn
with true colours of my life's storm
that turns, on a whim, glee to gloom
or takes me right up to the moon
and back for breakfast served
- a shot of coffee, extra verve
only for me, that little more
of my sweet life that I adore,
...all that I totally deserve!
