Velvet

Under an orange sky
I seek to fathom a feeling.

It was thick
like velvet petals
circling my cosmos,

Hovering over
and underneath.

Two souls
frozen within its framework.
Fingers intertwined
in another space in time

The warmth causes a stir
too elusive to define
but genuine enough
to pursue.

The spark goes out
in salient release

There it is
ebbing towards water,
calming the tide

and I try
to fathom a feeling
beneath a sheer wave
of constellations...
