Fire fly
A fire fly flickers dimly by,
It catches my eye
And steals my breath in awed sigh
Lovely the glow-
Suspended and slow-
As moonlight brightens the night like a show
The winged fairies shine
They dance unaligned
Disappear...reappear, a magician's design
Though entranced by their splendor
The subject is tender
For I'm in fear of all insects, innately forever
But I follow the bug,
As it hovers and chugs,
Until it lands on the hands of distinguishable love
My hands shoot from these hands
To eyes and a face
Greeted with a soul like a green sea of grace
Impossible! She holds this cruel creature,
But I completely forget it as I learn all her features
She shines in this moonlight so soft and pure,
If I were hurt in any way she would hold the sure cure
A figment of thought,
No, a manifest of want,
She stands there with a bug, they both glow and they taunt
Now, our eyes fixed
I can't move I can't shift
We smile to one another as intentional gifts
Not a word need be spoken
This spell can't be broken
Her arm extends like an alluring token
I drift disembodied from my mind and my head
Beside her bright form still a word needn't be said
Instead, her closed fist appears in my own,
And when she slides back it's the bug that is shown
All that I loathe and all of my fear
Now in my palm so fragile and queer
Our eyes still locked and in them I'm safe
With each passing instant, she moved towards my face
My breath is timid as if I were cold
Ive forgotten the bug, she moves closer and holds
Touching now, I'm baited and lured-
In a moment forever, her laugh can't be unheard
Our noses brush, our lips touch
Any doubt in my soul is surely crushed
My ears pricked, my spirit lifts
Every hair on my body is raised and stiff
If I could assume, I would presume
My body lit up like when lightening bugs swoon
Just the two of us now, midair in flight
We are two more fire flies, yellowed stars in the night
