starless_night
Sonya Tonight the clouds rolled in and the stars could not be seen. We shared our love in a way others couldn't possibly fathom. Tender whispers morphed into flaming moans. Our hearts merged into one. Our words gently tickled each other's flesh.

You drifted off to sleep afterwards and all I could hear was your breathing as I laid there in the darkness. There was nothing more I could do except tell you all that I had been holding back. I whispered everything I kept within me to you as you journeyed in your slumber. It was as if my feelings had evolved into your solemn lullaby. There's no going back love. We will grow ever closer until we merge beyond our own reality. You'll still have my ring and I'll still wear your charm. The bliss shall only radiate further. Tonight is the night I found the only star worth gazing upon. Though you slept peacefully, your glow was and shall always be magnificent. It was a starless night until you.

jinx Nights are never starless. The stars are there. They're just hidden, and you have to imagine them being there to look at and wish on. The nice thing about imagining stars is you can wish on as many imagined stars as you want. With real stars you eventually run out. 020331

kerry the clouds were cut out of the sky blue on white like construction-paper sihlouettes
and the rain was really more like mist coming down settling on our shoulders when we decided to go sit in the stadium under the pressbox
walking across the field they were racing and i was breathing in steadily and the grass was so green already
she ran up to tackle me from behind
she was done-up
lipstick and pretty earrings and new haircut and i was in awe
but i always am
[in awe of her]
and the things she does and the way she says the things she says

they said the fireworks would go off in the rain anyway
we marveled at that
we sprawled across the stadium and watched them explode in the sky over us and heard each crash a second late
and later did you notice anything different about the silence in the car when we were making the rounds dropping people off
three to the front seat, me in the middle, between the two guys
feeling all-too safe even though i knew if we were in a wreck my head would have been going right through the rearview mirror
listening to the hives talking about drugs and sex even

oh and in the cemetery
did you see those boys hiding behind those headstones,
did you feel the popping in your chest when they threw the sparklers into the middle of the gravel road in front of us and did you hear their laughter when everyone jumped in one unified startled hiccup
i saw you walking away to avoid their sparks,
i squinted my eyes and shook the hand of the stoner dogging on our heels and i walked a bit quicker to catch up to you again
