As Stars Collide

When wandering souls meet.

I wrote you

in a heartbeat.

 

You stared

across space

and time

frozen

for that instant

in love's aspic glance.

 

I felt you

push your way

inside

my ribs

as I gasped

for air.

 

You bled my heart

and filled my pen

with wistful words

that dripped

in warm droplets

upon virgin

sheets.

 

We strayed,

we stayed,

and innocence

was put to

the sword;

a little death

worth dying for.

 

As we lay

in the glow

just after,

wrapped in the warm

womb of contentment,

 

we breathed

the sweet air

of satisfaction

into one another's

hearts.

I so loved this song, haven't heard it in such a long time. It marries nicely with your verses, dear John. Beautifully felt!

Thank you so much Kelly. Not seen much from you lately? That song is in my personal top fifty!

Loved the spare delivery and the imagery in this one. Verse 5 is most interesting. Does it indicate a reunion or a forbidden love? I think the last two verses tell us it doesn't matter.

Many thanks JTB. I guess like many writers I am happy for the reader to fill in any gaps lol!
