Astray

Your eyes were stars dancing upon the moon,

Igniting my world aflame with

Their song.

Laughter leaped across your face –

Beholden to none other than the Sky above –

And melted the furrow upon my brow.

The heat of your palms

Caressed my skin,

And my hands were suddenly at home.

A vision in darkness

You started my day,

A dream to be reckoned with,

A love to replay.

I lived off your laughter,

I danced to your song,

And when the world collapsed beneath me,

I survived by your embrace –

But, alas, the Sirens’ song persevered,

A melody that silenced your own,

And soon my home was lost at sea

As gravity lured my world away –

Over the edge, I could no longer see,

Your light was extinguished,

And in darkness I stray.
