her eyes beams fireflies
fluttering in empty belly
illuminating

I admired her vain mystery
hid behind pink clouds

with red earth in his boy palm
molding it into dreams

floating by the orange sun
keeping warm, my dark.

with fervor, she moans
tears that singe her forlorn face
leaving trails of hurt

drinking in adulation

heaven was cold and frozen
I died peacefully

water runs underneath 
dolphins swimming with the current
life snail moving along

Parched throat and sprained soles,
Scorching sun rays, baked words
