Celestial Lovers

Written in 2018.


Such bright lights rest
within these stars; will
his eyes ever contain all
the radiance? His frenzied

fingers run through

her curious hair.

How did he find the

sunlight-condensed

dark hues melted
in her locks? She unlocked
the doors of her mind
in silence. He drifted in,

capturing her invincible

thoughts as if they had

always been his and

wrote some nights

with violet ink that
danced barefoot on
frost-kissed pages
that once summed up

her entire essence. She

kissed the sacred flames

that burned deep in

the core of his soul,

with her lipstick-stained
lips in crimson deep. They
tasted like honey-dipped figs;
his brief laughter kissed
with countless sunsets.

But these unkempt strings

of fate ached as they quietly

escaped the wheel of fortune.
