the stars reflect in your dark iris
a twinkling map of the sky's axis

eyelashes interrupt starflames, blinking abyss
twin hearts beating as one, forever persist

your arms wrapped around me like a lunar eclipse
fleeting, as the orb's own firekissed silver ellipse.

your hand brightly shines, tangled inside of mine
the fierce light only grows as we lay intertwined.

I exhale and watch as your lungs breathe just in time
to catch my lost stardust, to caress my soft rhyme

I notice your stare as I try to continue
and can't help but admire the gentleness within you.

and my tongue flashes swiftly over my lips
as I try to describe the way the our heavens do kiss.
Oh shooting star! Oh swiftly my love, oh please do
make a wish.
