Magnetism

We were but strikes of lightening, sealed in a glass jar Fumbling about with nowhere to go. Exhausted, we conducted ourselves With a slight curb of enthusiasm. Sprung to life with the slightest touch Electric current twirling forward, then back. Sparks igniting beneath our toes Traces of where we've been crackled. Sizzled in a flash by the dark spot of glass. We were irresponsible in the abundance of each other The glass soon stained by soot, Purified by the euphoria of what came to be known as climatic. Every taste Every passion. Soon exploiting what came to be known as each other. We polluted ourselves with the taste of each other Becoming the overcast beneath the top of the jar. Surrounded by absolute dark. The way I saw the universe in her eyes Laying beneath the night sky surrounded by acres of thought Vast in length Breathless in thought A jolt of vibration quivered in heart
