Bubble

 What is this flame you have lit inside of me
That illuminates the night sky
thaws the cold serenity that I feign
Leaving me unable to mask the pain and vulnerability?

And what is this you do whenever you look at me

That leaves me transparent and my wicked heart still

Amid dreams and restlessness as I disappear into your head

If not magic or a spell you have cast?

So I explore the space where your neck meets your shoulder

A small moan escapes your lips 

the storms and the pain cease to inhabit your face

As possibilities are born no longer limited by experience

And I touch your face and kiss your lips

Hold you against me afraid to let you go

We anticipate every conversation we will ever have

While trapped in this bubble for a brief eternity
