May the Light Always Linger

Lock up that secret

on the tip of your tongue.

The practice is frequent,

tightens your lungs.

The fire you breathe

shuts the vitriol inside,

but growing is the need

to let your heart confide.

Leave your doors open

and leave your lights on.

The planets are in motion.

and soon we'll be gone.

Welcoming eyes

and warm, lover's fingers,

find me in your skies,

may the light always linger.
