Never Waiting To Exhale (Interlude)
Am I allowed to see you this way
Do I have your permission to daydream
To lay beside you in a summer’s field
And tell you, how much I hate the summer
***
You have a balanced look
Of ambition and amazement
I let it go, every time I exhale
No point of waiting, I exhale
No point of anxiety, I exhale
The moment I take in your image, I exhale
***
Captured, but I can’t say it enough
I never asked to be released from this trance
Who needs a soul when I have eyes
Can I just talk to your spirit instead

Thank You For Being Beautiful (Interlude)
To tell you you’re beautiful
Is to tell winter it’s cold
***
To tell you you’re beautiful
Is to hold the sunlight in one’s hand
***
To tell you you’re beautiful
Is to land a shot, on a stationed target
***
It’s obvious that the wind blows during a storm
And that night is always after day
Just as I am after you, hand and foot
If you were to pass my way
***
(An inspired poem by you — thank you for being beautiful)

My Only Star In The Sky (Interlude)
I didn’t know
When you went away
That I would lose this much
Track of time
So much is gone from me now
So little left to complain about
***
My only star in the sky
On a napless night, you are
Resting in my mind, like you aren’t
Working the night shift
Taking away my attention
From the moon towards the disgrace
So distant, let’s not be that anymore
So maintained, let’s not blame life again
***
Even if we know each other
Let’s build all over again
You’ve been outgrowing me
I’ve been unsure about other things
Call it a waste of time
And be back beside me
***
My only star in the sky
On a napless night, you are
Resting in my mind, like you aren’t
Working the night shift
Taking away my attention
From the moon towards the disgrace
So distant, let’s not be that anymore
So maintained, let’s not blame life again
~ Sakari
