Nathaniel Aaron Bryant Poems

Hearts grow lonely till next summer
Awake this love which fall makes slumber
I just hope this kiss lingers a year
To taste you and not know fear
...

Gasping, now just out of reach
This passion no scholar can teach
A nearly soundless atmosphere but I
still hear your beating heart
...

White wilted petals drift down and land on cold linoleum floor
It's evident she is tired but her yawn proves it even more

So restless she slowly makes her way to daddy's reach
...

Kisses from the lips of the one I love
Lying in the cool summer grass
Eyes focused on the cloud shapes above
To spend every day like this, is all I ask
...

I can barely breathe this time
We've kissed so long my lips are dry
And when you take my breath away
These trembling lips have nothing to say
...

I'm reminded of the first time I saw your face
A memory not at all easy to erase
But thats not why I liked you at all
And thats not why my heart seemed to fall
...

The portraits lying here, they don't even do you justice
You're more beautiful than any canvas could prove
These pale colors will never show your skin so smooth
I touch up your smile with this red and white mix
...

Days pass by like years
I can't seem to hold back these sharpened tears
...

I saw a slight glimmer in your eyes as I walked to you

'May I have this dance', I said as I reached for your hand
...

Exhausted thinking of you all night
Wishing you were here to hold so tight
I have thoughts of you, if only they could be embraced
The thought of our last kiss gives my mouth a bitter taste
...
