Union

soft confines of darkness sweeps our room
our shadows softly mingle in
passion I feel for splendor is almost violent

my eyes weep, my flesh too human
my love for him too woman

the dirty streets have been neglected
from our lack of dancing
slender hands reach for the sky
and mouths open to swallow stars

smiles wearing nudity
hearts unearthed beat most vibrant
love has swollen
and crashes like new waves to shore

our midnight passes through too rapidly
but not before we rest the darkness deep
and kisses exile the sadness from our eyes

starlight will burn the nocturnal expectations
into ashes and we'll collapse with delirium
of June breath and cross our fingers
while we reorganize the stars our union
chose to scatter
