*     *     *


with a halo burning over his head

it shows the angel he really is.


he has velvet soft skin

the kind that would make you jealous to the touch.


shooting stars filling up his heart

and he may not realize it 

but he has a galaxy burning within him 

and stardust floating through his veins.


music notes replace his words

and suddenly he's speaking in verses

he's the only thing i want to hear and

the only thing i'll listen to.


his eyes speak in that foreign language 

that i've come to know so well. 



we place our broken hearts

in the hands of one another,

both of us brave

both of us strong.



i write my poems in scarlet ink.

he captures his art in a frame.

but somehow we love in the same way

     [with half shut eyes, and a cup half empty]
