Sunset Of Eternal Youth Poem by Shiraz Bautista

So sublime
the ocean comes alive
as the sun leaves its lips on me
the tides caress my feet

couldn't ask for anything better now
then to be here
to breathe in

This everlasting piece of paradise
to feel peace
and release this

Imperfect confession
that it's not the same
yet I still question
who's to blame, as we reframe

Photo stills from a better day
simpler times, if only we run away
and drive off into the sunset of eternal youth
