It’s late for a school night
Our light heads, heavy
Cradled by rainfall
Wet drops of moonlight
Reveal a river
Coursing between us
That bends like a smile
So softly your skin
Wrinkles sublime
Caught with the laughter
Of a lifetime
A pier, beholds us
In the glow of a streetlight
I walk along
The bridge of your nose
Where the white of your eyes
Are in the palm of my hands
Until your lips
Are buried by mine
