Miami

Waves crashed, then my visions blurred

I was hit with nostalgia of a Miami blurb

Warm morning sun, hot on my skin

Like how my September mornings would roll in

Felt good

Nothing would end

Then night covered the sunset bend.

If cocaine is bad

Trust me, Miami felt good!

Gave me a better high than the weeds in Hollywood

This nostalgia could last a lifetime

And I'd never stop finding words that would rhyme

With the beaches that made out with my soul

And the night clubs that swallowed my depression whole

I was in the line of fire of Miami's heat

Give me more baby!

Let's make this a worthwhile cheat

My radical mind is a perfect match

For a Miami Vice, down the hatch!

But just like how nostalgias go

The depressing reality flowed

I didn't mean to know

That this place had a rationale for pessimistic flow

Miami sunk me faster than a quick sand

Into stanning Latin bands

That sings lyrics of Escobar's lifestyle on this land

Miami is the epicenter;

The hurricane's eye

For romances, vanilla sex and expensive Rolex.

Honestly, I bought quite a few of some

To be like them,

A Miami numb

Albeit, I liked the Latin view, too

The flirty dances, stolen kisses and make out advances

Gotta be real,

I'd drown myself for the Miami feel

But all of these are gaslight hues

Making me forget that rare is only a few

The rare life doesn't only consist

Of kaleidoscopic lights in tune to the rhythm of the night

Of going home at morning bright

And being wasted on your fifteenth bottle of Bud Light.

Then the angels sang in my ears,

"Flight BR0261 is now boarding"

A perfect nostalgia ending

I opened my eyes again,

There I was, sitting on an airplane

Flying first class

Sipping champagne

I ceased thinking of Miami,

I already wreaked havoc there like a tsunami,

And finally,

I'm folding all these memories like an origami.

Miami, you'll always be my favorite nostalgic memory

But let's be honest,

I'm the one who terrified that city.
