you have the most peaceful set of hazel eyes
so deep and dark and mostly unraveled
you make me want to reach for the stars
though hot and vast in distance — my palms are unbearable
for i love and love is in all things vast and
spontaneous like our small talks on the phone
your smiles are the substance that fill up my void
and your laugh — a chemical intoxication stronger than dopamine

our romance in mornings reach midnights alive
for the moon is our luminous stone
and the sun that makes it ember
keeps us where we are
