supernova

with you i am
the supernova
with you
i hasten to call it perfection

so tomorrow you wear
a silk kimono
or you put up your hair
like a van gogh

appeared in my heart
like a ghost caught on film
traced the curvature of your spine

but this longing's too wide
stretched out over time
and dynasties

we're breathing deep
into shallow water
we're playing games
with fire

if this is the truest love i say

we're breathing deep
into shallow water
we're playing games
with fire <
