dancing on borrowed time
the rain comes steadily down
and she watches
from her room
waiting for tomorrow
when the sun
will sink into her skin
while the earthen scent
drifts up
into her soul
as she dances
one night
at dusk we sit
an easy smile
spreads
like a rumor
deftly across my lips
as i drink you in
your words hang
like silhouettes
in my ears
thoughts filled
with guilty pleasure
you are
eloquence
and beauty
light in the space
of my view
invisible tendril
touches me
while that easy smile
has my heart
finding wings
sharing stars
in tiny jars
a velvet box
glistening
midnight deeply blue
electrified for you
on the moonbeams
where we hang dreams
and on the in betweens
the stars seem
to shine brighter
when we see them
from a hill
holding hands
as hearts soar
riding stars that sail
on the in betweens
chasing dreams
together
