Capture Me

Atlanta, i liked this name a lot
it sounded like a Christmas
morning snowing outside you
window
Or waves washing over the hull
of a boat
I truly loved this name.
This name was a symbol of life,
a reason to keep walking.
Atlanta, hair as blue as the sky
skin the colour of pearls.
Atlanta, ethereal but captive
of the sea
capture me.
