There is nothing quite like it,

A kiss
when just right,
can send stars
shooting from your body.
                     Shooting Stars.
As if every wish
made from your mind,
                              heart,
                      ­        & body,
      finds its truth.

It could last forever
        (sweet taste, delicate lips)
but of course,
it comes to an end,

Lips part ways
    with graceful satisfaction
And the stars,
    crawl back
    to where they came,

                 Awaiting their next grand escape.

One night -
When the stars
Fill the blanket of cloudless sky,
They will
align,
And spell out
          My answer.

We have created a vulnerability
Too bold to stare down.
A thickness in the air,
Our lungs cannot share.

Between our bodies lies a desire,
Between our eyes, a fire.
Our hearts, they beat,
Rhythms too complex to comprehend--

The impulse. The intrigue. The beauty.
