A Tale of the Perfect Evening

As the wintry air kindles my thoughts
I drown my words in a paper cup
And your flamboyant blue eyes
Did everything to rescue them

We braved The Darkness
And both gazed at the light
A smile etched on your face
As a love bus thawed your lips

Eighty five in a two lane
Echoes tonight’s blessing
Shivering under a streetlight
Existing only to one another

Strawberry ice decorated the evening
And painted the gleam inside my eyes
Which stayed transfixed with yours
As our converse hit the dance floor

Unspoken words amplified the moment
That your hand approached mine
And our ears heard only one song
Goodbye sanity
