Desire floats above the clouds
In the heavens heading south
It’s cool breath spreads heat
Hues of yellows, reds, orange now.
To fall to fly to be so high
Sweat beads vapours of the sky
Navel tense arms are wide
For seconds in the amber light.
Embraced by the earth
The Sun always surrender
Wilted limp in darkness
Blanket under constellations by birth…
of night.
