Our Nights

There is a mystery between you and me

That can only be deciphered from the soil of the moon

Into the uncharted territories of the far away stars

This mystery is devoid of all the clues

That took the humans to the skies

Hangs in the balance of a love

Too unsure to speak aloud

Lives in the gardens

Of shy half sights

Gives in and surrenders

To the reality of life

It trembles at the touch

Of our empty hands

And yearns for all of the implied

For a second where it can be alive

This mystery lies half asleep

With the dexterity of a cat

Hidden in my eyes or yours

Covering his face with a mask

Everyday I pass you by

I brush my hand against yours

The hair in my arms electrifies

My heart sings a muted song

I can almost taste the sweet taste of your lips

I can almost sweep off your soul

Elevate it to the heavens above where our map lies

I can almost make you mine

But our love is a distant cousin of the afterlife

The son of an ancient secret from the past

The daughter of the beginning of times

The baby of the universe

I sit alone and contemplate

Imagine and daydream

My days with you

Our nights…
