Polarized
Once I chased fireflies
Borrowing stars from the dark
To recall your eyes
I drank nectar too
From the hibiscus red throat
Thought it was your tongue
And where jasmines bloom
Still I walk there through the night
Following your trail
My heart turns to sand
And your presence was just dew
Need you more like rain.
But you are winter
And I am tree dropping leaves
A blanket for ice.
