this night
the light is a milky, silvery blue
cascading down from the sky
in rays that look like liquid silk
dripping off tree branches
and coating the world in a cool, heavenly glow
it feels so good to walk through this night
in the biting cold
wearing pajamas
and a heavy coat and boots
even though it's a school night
where tomorrow's dawn brings you back to reality
the night is young
and being lovestruck always feels like paradise
before the sun rises
and takes your love away.
a symphony of saxophone and jazzy drums plays
for a crowd of men in wide collared shirts and women in boxy dresses
in their hands are drinks
martinis and manhattans
with glistening ice cubes inside their glasses
we're so close.
I am wrapped in the touch of another
suspended in a state of contentment
and soft safety.
the lights in my room are warm
and in the mirror
where the soft grass meets the sea
is where you'll find her
for eternity now.
young and alive in vivid shades
of every color
