A thousand dreams

We held ransom

In the night.

A thousand stars

Fell to the ground

And scattered at our feet.

Some,

(In such haste to join us)

Burned themselves out in ecstasy.

And there we lay amongst them

Enraptured souls entwined.

Two lovers consumed

(Consumed as one)

By the light.

The stars were ours

And we were theirs.

(Oh but my darling we are the stars)

All other memory

Fades.
