He danced in light, son of the Wind, And colored the minds below. She was too deep, locked in herself, But he still had inarticulately tried To convey his longing in light.
When he asked the girl What her name was, she replied, "I am the Marianas Trench," And he blinked, smashing lashes In a vain effort To extract an answer not forthcoming. She gazed blankly, concealing Three million dying hopes Faintly sparkling within her depths. He bashfully cast his eyes Downward to conceal his own Inner turmoil. "I am the Aurora Borealis," He finally yelped as his fingers drummed Notes in the tension between them. A light flickered across her Black eyes, flitting to his own. Quickly extinguished, it Carried within it her slipped Composure and raw yearning. He drew breath, and the coronas Of his eyes slid to meet hers, Blank once more. Before she could bolster Her dwindling courage, He was leaving, taking with Him all her color. "Don't!" She pleaded. Her cheeks flushed magenta. He blanched, his eyes dark. But he was far from her, Shrouded in light That could never color The stone walls she built. Miles high, she hoped They touched his sky someday. Until then, she was hidden, Sound, and he was brilliant, lost.
