Parking Lot

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
