I swallow whole
An epic desire to dream
Of iridescent light
That catches my eyes
Pouring over and over
And over again
The audacious night
That soon will arrive
When a smile creeps
From the corner of my mouth
Until it overtakes my lips
Like a kiss you'd beg a forever stay
Bottom one bitten
Playful for good measure
While the sun falls earlier and earlier
Each day
My bets are raised tonight
By a stack of what I’m feeling
Just then
And right now
It’s a fall wind that blows outside
Its gust will give way to a morning shake
Shivering for impossible things
The kind two hands cannot make
Words behind the verse: iridescent, epic, gust and audacious
