XCVIII

Sweet and tender
           butterfly wings flutter,
tipping my rainbow upside
                                           down
               and
                                           swinging to the
                                                   ground;

(the exhilaration of stars shooting through my veins)
        bleeding my dreams through
my body
             and exhaling my hopes after
breathing in yours…

The thrilling joy from your
                                          perfectly uttered passion---
                              
                              our love drenched life
                                          began
                                   with that first
                                breath-taking kiss.
