Moment alone

In the rich, warm and velvet abundant
night, I sought to reach out and touch
droplets of rain which hung from your
lashes. Believe fervor is thorn as virtue
is roses red dripping upon the floor as
your voice burns into a restless mind.

    Virtue to savor but be slow with the ferver. A wise choice though hard to be in a hot romance.
    I didn’t fall and wasn’t in an accident, I just have brittle bones. Thanks, Sanaa, for your cheerful words.
