POEMS
To Win You Back
Still thinking of you
Each and everyday.
Hoping what was started
Has not faded away.
If it’s your heart that I’ve failed to win,
Then I’ve committed a dreadful sin.
And I must put your short memory on a shelf,
And figure out how to redeem myself.
—Henry Earl Oaks
I Want
I want to shower in rainbows with you
Until they flood the ground
And shooting stars come raining down.
I want you to feel my vibrations,
Until they unlock your deepest sensations.
I want to hold you in my arms in the moonlight,
Until our souls merge and take flight.
I want us to eat from the same tree.
I want to wake up and feel you next to me.
—Henry Earl Oaks
