Paint a smudged pattern in the air with your lips,

A soft, sweet portal of stories untold;

A million heartbeats cramped in a second,

As I watch the sunrise, your smile unfold

Trace a kiss in the delicate frost on your tongue,

Taste how the silk-spun snowflakes entwine,

A carousel spin and a candyfloss sickness,

As I watch too long what can never be mine

Sketch a love-heart for me with your deathly kiss,

A crooked declaration, a frivolous keepsake to burn;

I’ll just watch on with my hollowed-out eyes,

As you and your smile uncomfortably turn…
