the sky was covered 
in quiet darkness
yet the stars shined in all their brilliance. 
we waited for sleep to arrive 
but instead 
we roamed. 
melody and rhythm 
to a song only we can hear. 
we begin writing. 
we begin climbing. 
outside us 
the darkness cloaks us, hides us, 
the air pulsing, 
crisp, 
alive. 
yet we still climb. 
gravity begins to dissipate. 
anticipation. 
breath escapes the lungs 
exhilarating joy is unleashed.
skin begins to melt 
in a pool of heat 
beneath touch 
beneath caress 
we become seamless, 
weightless 
all bindings to earth 
have broken loose 
and we are carried 
into paradise. 
altitude clears mind, body, soul 
speaking of souls 
they dance, meld as one, 
create a flame 
that turns blue. 
we linger at the top 
breath him in 
breathe her out 
slowly, 
ever so softly, 
completely, 
we make our way 
downward. 
outside the sky is dark 
yet you could never 
see such bright stars
