Warm lips wait patiently on
the horizon as I watch the
sun disappear into the sea.
We stare at the same sky,
set ablaze. Our passion
like burning embers keeps us
close as we demand more
from this sunset. Soon,
I remind myself,
soon.

The stars exist atop the black,
blank canvas and we connect
the dots, joking, laughing as
our minds wrestle with the
mythical creatures we create.
We stare at the same sky;
we dream, I dream: the only
time I spend with you
is in my sleep.

Won't you promise me you'll
be there when my eyes open?
I crave your lips and everything,
you.
