Imagine a Deflating Balloon...

with me holding 
     a three hundred mile long string
yr humbly smiling, dopey baffoon...
 
I miss you, dear Kinshala
     and ache to hear yr sweet voice
just to spend an afternoon with you
     over lottery winning would be my choice,
 
for You are what I want
    above all of that Stuff...
cause Everything will just fall into place
     once we are together - Nothing will be too rough...
 
so I ache and burn, and pain, and pine
away hours and days and breath what is mine
 
I shivver, I'm a forgivver = I appreciate Air
mostly for knowing that Kinshala is There
 
don't make me explain
for I can't = it's too plain
 
as the smile my face has inherited,
 
when thoughts of You come
I just grin like I'm dumb
 
and act like I'm liquidly spirited....
 
So my Kinshala Blue
  I will keep asking you
to help me be patient at best,
with heart in a cast
these memories will last
 
till the final question is put to the test....
