So much like
and creation
his eyes
were a nova
beginning to burn

he held every possibility
which I'd thought I'd forgotten
but they were all there
just trapped
behind the bars he called braces

You think
I have all these endeavors
but you are the only one
I feel
is worth pursuing

You just love being up there, don't you?*
I just feel so powerful
my breath caught in my chest
and his smile
could have stripped me to the bone

I was out of breath just walking with you.
It wasn't the sun
or the hay bathed heat,
it was the passion
with which you held your silence
that harkened the blood from my veins
and flushed my emotions
clear across my cheeks.
