Sparks of You

I left the world behind to be with you awhile

To feel the blue of your eyes,

The red of your lips,

and the flowing yellow of your hair.

As you sing of a young rivulet's journey to the sea,

I see you in the countless lights of the sky

Your blue eyes shining with kohl.

A cold and distant bridge looms between us;

You reign in those mighty worlds beyond my reach

Yet, I long to clasp you in an embrace and be the light of a thousand stars.
