Tracing Constellations

Written- 11/29/10 I completely bullshitted this one for extra credit, and I'm not fond of it at all.

One cold night, beckoned by tides

We are pulled outside to sea

The universe has paused for us…

 

The stars are shining in your eyes

As I trace the constellations

That are mapped out on your skin.

 

My mind ventures to ancient times

When heroes were preserved

Forever as diamonds set in black.

 

I look away and towards the skies

As I search for those patterns

And my heart races as they appear.

 

I feel your warmth, to my surprise

It brings me back to Earth

Your smile reawakens the universe.
