The breath of a lover’s kiss
So spreads like candles in a pond
A grasp – a fire that is gripped firmly
In its place the smoke of rolling clouds
Tightening around the thunder
Mad, lightly, dazzling
Just the tickling on the ears
Like details of Venus and Aphrodite into a sea of diamond spray
Love in an instant before forever
So as friends we step
In the sun that carries us to nightingales
We caress the hours that pour of clouds and stars
We slumber in the palms of extinction
