CELEBRATION

When we kiss

the stars fall sparkling to your skin

and sapphires glisten in your eyes

where love sighs.

When we embrace

heaven shakes open skies of blue daisies

in meadows by silken streams

where love dreams.

When we fall

a bird of paradise brushes bright colours

against glass on dazed sheets

where love sleeps.
