I lay across your
silky pecho
listening to the fast beat of your heart
race through my ear.
Once an unreachable bound so far away
now so close, we lay here together
under the naked summer sky.
Sun's rays leap
off
the shimmering rock on my fingers
now placed eternally.
There is no turning back
no second thoughts.
Convinced I am
that there is no other.
Night showers
cold winds,
the sky dresses in a blanket of stars.
We on the other hand, have no blanket.
No protection from the cold winds
no protection from the hungry vultures.
Once a sanctuary, now broken like delicate fine china.
The unity of our
brown hands,
shot down by the stones in their eyes.
They murmur fire from their lips
covering their eyes with the Star Spangled Flag.
Unwanted is our
presence.
Yet, you and I continue
crafting our footprints
and unchaining the heavy silver metal
from the cruel who were once prisoners.
Free, like white doves
flying under the sun.
Convinced I am
that there is no other.
