under the stars

above the city

across a bridge
on the sea shore
there we sat under the stars
on the hood of your red comet
your hand around my shoulder
our legs entwined like tree limbs
i listened to your heart
beat in rhythm with the crashing waves
while you played with my hair
with the oppressive black sky
and deafening silence as company
never once we thought to think
of a place we'd rather be
with love in both or eyes
wearing rose tinted glasses
we thought this was for forever
after we sat under the stars for hours
with the receding tide the sun rose up
wind blowing through our hair
orange and pinks reflecting
our matching colored glasses
we left the sea shore
in your red comet
across a bridge
above a city
