Warm days faded
into cold nights

Our breath mingled
As our skin touched

Sparks were flying
As fire bloomed above our heads

Arms held me tight
As each shot rang through the air

Dogs howled and hid
While children stared in awe

Soft pecks on the lips
With teasing bites thrown in

Silver exploded into the night
Red following with blue mixed in just right

Swirling patterns are chased
By colors that fall like rain in April

Pauses grow longer
The popping gets louder

The end is near
And the sky lights up
with astonishing colors
