Stars burn when hold so closely
Summer nights, sleepless with humid heat
your heart beats, humming through the night
my eyes wide open soaking in your image
your black pearl eyes covered
in the curliest lashes the world has seen
And there you are the brightest star
I want to hold you in my palms
but sparks like yours burn without pain
scar without sacrifice
chitter without waking up the neighbors
Hold you, I will try
burning my hands in your gleaming light
scarring my palms without drawing blood
chittering the sparks of your joyous flame
Hold you, I will try
gently making sure i won´t extinguish you
cause you are oh bright
and i am humbly trying to
make my eyes catch up
with the brightness
you give out.
