Star gazing: Silence in the night sky

Twirling, a whirling dervish

A dancer with two left feet

Each step

Exploring the fathoms of the universe

Amidst the satin white pages

Thick with

The smell of new chances and memories hidden


Like secrets

Whispering

The fires

Burn brightly


Rose petals

Spreading the scent of desire

By fingertips and empty footprints


The haze of twilight

Keeps you still

Though your heart, leaps in time with the oncoming night

Pink stained cheeks, once hot

Now frozen in the fires of starlight
