12:48 a.m.
monday morn —
bedroom parlour

***

his lashes collapsed
under his brown orbs.
murmuring a silent
'thank you' to the 
queen of the sky.

then he bestowed
me his glance and
showered me the
warmth of his
blithe smile.

"do you perhaps,
want to roam with
me? to ruins of the
ancient and empires
above skies?"

a smile slept its way
across the borders 
of my mouth. a first
in a week. as much 
as i wanted to fake
it — merriment did
not grant me the
pleasure to.

"and pray tell, how
would you propose
we do that without
leaving the comforts
of my quarters —
child of the sun?"
