Stars burst into life burning trails of dust and smoke
across the night sky
while the moon hides her face behind a veil of clouds
as fingers link together when hands find each other—
walking down the sidewalk.
It’s between the neon glare of signs
and the shadows of sprawling buildings
we can be found chasing endlessly into the night,
with footprints silently left behind us,
echoes of where we’ve been.
Desire lives in the spaces between us
calling our epic love home.
She watches our bodies melt into each other
as we disappear into the night
creatures consumed by unending bliss
searching for heavenly delight.
