The Breath of a Kiss

The stars exhaled tonight as they kissed the moon

there is something to be said about the breath shared in a kiss

no explanation or blame can come of this gravational pull of worlds bridging gaps with lips

like somehow the fire inside a star could spark the moon ablaze

changing the days light to be infinite so you could forever be illuminated in your eternal longing to shine

and I didnt mean to reference you as the moon

but you orbit around my thoughts in 24 hour cycles

eclipsing my day for a good portion right before the gray lifts and the sun wakes to see morning

It's funny how the moon changes daily in size

giving off whatever it can to light the skies

but loses its power as the days go by

so it gives away all it can before morning light

You are the moon's reflection- selfless

and I the stars eager to collect whatever you are willing to give me

and the breath shared in cosmic kisses turns darkened galaxies

to midsummers mornings

never a star in the sky because my

inferno of affection awakens the suns eyes too soon

I held onto night with two hands to keep you from leaving

we walked Orions belt until casseopia lit our lips to find eachother

weaving between constellations like continents

trying to keep feet on solid stardust

but the breath exchanged in our kiss made me leap for the moons embrace

once again

a night like tonight

where the stars were still breathing
