Those Unfinished Kisses

My mind, trying to feed on those moments

Edited by the author by using the Prisma Application

Earth, ohh dear earth, please cease to revolve, my mind, my entire mind, ’tis filled with feelings, moments of the past, feeding on the remains, of those unfinished kisses.

Earth, ohh dear earth, please halt your rotation, let my mind seep in the love-filled moments, albeit momentary, albeit from the past, when I was the hanging flower at home’s entrance, and she, the unrelenting breeze.
