Wild Freedom
Together,
on a shore of stars
with waves
from the dark universe
crashing against us,
we made promises
to each other.
We walked on sandy stars,
stepping on the edge of light,
staring into the sea of darkness,
feeling the currents spray
eternity on us as we kiss,
we watched comets leap like dolphins,
and the darkness sang like sirens,
we laid down on the shore,
with starlight dangling in your hair,
next to the howling abyss,
and I started kissing your body
while the darkness
enviously kept calling us.
When we left,
I took your favorite planetary seashell
so we could always listen to the echo
of that night and our words.
You wear it as a necklace now.
.
Our lives may not be perfect,
but we live for moments,
such as that night
when we acted young and reckless
and drove the universe
crazy with jealousy.
We live for the wild freedom
that we only find in each other.
