Pompeii

The kitchen floor
I lay
Balloons of laughter fill the air 
And for a moment time pauses,


This moment 
We stay
Forever with you seems fair
Constant happiness this causes,


For our love
​Is Pompeii
Not destruction or despair 
But the way our love crosses,


The only death 
Pompeii brings today
Is to my sadness and dismay
For me to go on, this passes. 

Perfect is this moment
Lying next to you my mind hesitates
For happiness has always been constrained
This moment of perfection surpasses.

Contentment and serenity
Pompeii brings regularly
For life no longer seems distant 
But constant and near.
