Para ti, mi amor

I was the the Sun.

Stare too bright for eye contact.

Flames dripped from my lips, without remorse of who I burned.

You lit the forests fires that devastated beneath my ribs,

Burnt holes in my lungs, and left me breathless.

And now I am a Star.

One of many.

The hunter

The scorpion

The little bear

The big bear

The twelve zodiacs

I build constellations in your palms,

And watch as galaxies slips through our fingers.

You tell me to never leave you, but even when you can’t see me, I am always here.

I will be your moon.

The rock that guides the tides.

I will pull the waves,

Let you drink from my sea, lick the salt from my veins,

And make love wash pain away with the current.
