Our Milky Way
The night is vast, a velvet tide,
Soft breath of stars that will not hide.
The moon lies low, a molten flame,
And every leaf whispers your name.
No mirrored haze, no city glare,
Just silence hung in midnight air.
The trees extend their thick shadowed limbs,
Their touch as warm as "biblical" hymns.
The bushes lean, their blossoms spread,
A secret path where we are led.
Green leaves embrace with tender sweep,
The earth awakes, it does not sleep.
Above us spills a sugared stream,
Cotton candy stars that gleam.
The Milky Way—our bridal veil,
A shining road, a comets siver tail.
Your hand in mine, so dark and sweet,
Our pulses rise, our shadows meet.
The hush is deep, the moment stays,
Entwined beneath the milky way.
I taste the salty night upon your skin,
The universe stirs, we beg the night.
With every spark the heavens say:
We are the fire,
are each atoms dancing, In your Milky Way.
