i found fire
at the curl of your lips
as i fell
into the heaven of your eyes.
i knew i wasn't just
swimming in a celestial pool,
but somewhere
beyond and after and away.
as the stars and
the wet land confided in each other,
we laughed at the
misfortunes, who know not of
the thrill of grabbing cynicism by
the neck and choking it until
it retracts for a lifetime of pilgrimage,
fueled by love and nothing but love.
i knew i was hardwired
for the kind of
prominence your love lends.
