silver sliver [j.l]

you are a kindness,
a rare oasis,
a silver sliver
on a sable field.

share your warmth, for a night, for a week
and fuel a star for years,
the inky slate of space,
punctured, stained white by your eyes

ivory,
a pure beauty,
which blinds like night
and shines twice as bright,

in your eyes I find infinities,

scattered light from your sweet heart,
savoire, je plane avec vous,

take me even higher, will you?
before I am faded atoms, {and too jaded to remember names}
