Under the sentimental night sky
rain breathing
in anticipation
before it dampens the dry
They stood staring into each other eyes
outside an old Honky Tonk dive
romance lit by loosely strewn Christmas lights
and a cool, pool of a moon observing from up high
The world narrowed by a gaze
longing distilled by irises that barely hesitate
sparks radiate as inner fires rage
a love that persists despite mistakes
Feet stepping at a ballad\'s pace
scuffling against the dirt parking lot pave
eyes study each other\'s face
until one kiss ignites the flame
