Footprints On My Heart

if galaxies were only made to be mine, 
I’d give you the universe in its entirety. 

last night stardust fell upon our eyes
and constellations called our names-
we sat under the magenta solstice 
moonlight and pleaded for the night
to never end...for you are my revelation.  

I ache for your touch-
for it outweighs any fallacy I may encounter 
in my life.
you long for my eyes-
for you see a whole new word of love and 
passion through them. 

if you want tears, 
I’d give you an ocean-
if you need light,
I’d rope the sun.

for there is no hourglass of time that
can contain our endless tenderness-
only grains of footprints left on my heart.
