Constellations

Love like the last breath of release  

You feel like peace on angel wings 

We’re mortality ascending 

It’s Empyrean I can touch  

Eyes like amber

Hold me in the light of your flame

Your body, my house of worship 

This house, a temple 

When the sun goes down, darling 

We’re just shadows on a wall

And when the sun rises, my love

We’re still dancing in our dreams 

If tonight is all we have

I’ll drink your touch like warm honey 

And memorize the stories of your skin 

Etch forever into the imprints of our souls   

I’d rewrite the story

Turn us into constellations 

So even when the sun rises

We’ll be living still, among the stars
