It’s a new, brisk, cool breath.
And your fingers so wet.
And I tried to hollow out something new
that could hold this warm light, this new hue.
These streets painted us, and held our hands.
Together the fall was not so long.
You caught us, held us tight, gave fresh breaths,
stomachs held heat, and kissed our chests.
Now the curtains are drawn, and it’s dark.
You are your nails out so long just for the start.
And I sewn a deep phrase, for a moment of rest,
but we’ve tossed it aside for nothing less.
And in the long ride back home the warmth was yet to tire
for this existed only in dreams for three years prior
now this blissful, beautiful spark held by a choir
is kindled into something more, this raging fire.
If diamonds are pure, then can they feed the rest
who search for something more, but settle for less?
