II. starfire

949 55 10
                                    

his eyes contain the universe
an infinite darkness
lit by fires in the night sky
and they'd burn brighter
with every warm smile he gives
burning their way in my mind
and putting my dreams ablaze

but when he cries
his tears would color his face
so many shades of blue
he looked like the afternoon
brewing a storm
and his rain would quench
every spark in his soul
leaving nothing but smoke
