They dazzle
and dance among
the branches
bright rubies
lively viridescent
frosted blues
and sparkling white
mixed with a golden yellow
that makes the fuzz around
my vision grow
I sit there with you
we can see our breath
dragons amidst the forest
curled to each other,
arms wrapped in one other,
close and warm, hearts beating quick
you look into me again
and I look back.
There it was, my heart
stopping once again
as you gave me that warm look
in those deep, copper eyes.
How could someone look at me
like you do?
I've never felt someone probe so deeply
into my very soul.
"I don't know and I'm afraid to say"
en español, you speak
I huff, waiting for you
but you still say you're afraid
This is the moment
THAT moment
where I look around me
at the sparkling trees
and wonder
how this could even be happening...
and the words
roll off my tongue
like honey off my spoon
and I feel our bodies
sing together, truly,
for the first time.
