I shield my eyes in your aura a smile wide within your laughter as your voice shivers my spine how long ago you loved me once, I was bride of the bellflower witness to the waterfall washed clean of bitterness yet still, thirsty is my skin I slip across the mission yard a rusting halo in my pocket am I forgiven for past transgressions buried beneath time’s patina your heart holds my rapture reconciling shadows of the girl that now stands against you woman can you find my heart the same will you still know me as a lover with your kiss pressed in my locket as we dance precariously between something old, something new or will Luna click her eyes closed leaving me merely lamp-lit yearning for familiar journey that would lead me irrevocably home |

Hard not to have rust on one's Halo, my friend...we all do to some extent (won't go into how much is on mine!). Enjoyed this... j. |

I agree with Margherita. That same phrase was the one that jumped out at me and said to me, "Pause there and remember that." Nice write. |
