A vague thought,

As elusive as the heart

Air hanging heavy like wine.



It's an unknown world

Bright with chaos

But we chance it anyway,



Cheeks rosy with ignorance

And the thought of falling short-

We're too busy melting like stars in June.



Here we lie, close as oak and ivy

Yielding to each other as melting snow.

Eyes glowing with sparks from fireworks.



Sharing words sweet as honey from the comb,

Words glimmering like a gossamer rain

Words soft as Summer's breeze.



Here we stand arm in arm,

Turtle doves that can't live asunder

Forever to stare at the moon's white flame.



Here we wear our scars like stars

Pure and open, quivering like shadows

Hearts and souls bowed like violets after rain.
