Shooting Stars
Xander Lopez Jan 2015
How can you spit fire- on earth’s back?
a hot breath that puckers a wind's crack
Your eyes, fill up the Heavens a distant so far
and When you were in motion, I thought you a shooting star
When I was motionless, You became the orbit to my sphere
but You spit fire, spilled it and burnt my earth’s atmosphere
With jettisons to blow soft kisses to try and lull it away
but with a harsh bite to open a closed wound in pain
Your flutters, they fill up my stars with a searing heat
When you're in motion I tethered with you with you when I need retreat
I orbit around you, and I am unwillingly your shooting star

Burst
Xander Lopez Jan 2015
I split the atom we came from in two
And all the explosions I thought we had put out
bursted anew

Often
Xander Lopez Feb 2015
Often I wonder
I ponder
Why
Why did I let you so deeply inside
Often I shudder
I sputter
Try
Try to forget your harkened lies
Often I lay awake
I break
Cry
Cry because I'm barely alive

When I go
Xander Lopez Jan 2015
One day I will drift into vastness
And I will wonder why
I didn't drift sooner
