mirrors

Shadowbox15

we were midnight dancers

twinkling in the stars

of each other’s eyes.

brave, young, stupid, and burning

 

were the names that flickered

across our lips, into the unknown 

of each other.

 

we were the animals whose fiery

bellies almost ignored the borders.

”danger, don’t cross” it said.

”danger, don’t ” it said.

”danger” it said.

 

we were two sets of eyes,

almost drowning in passion,

because we were two mirrors

reflecting the desire and pain 

of our lives.

 

I heeded the warning, stopped before

the trenches.

 

....

only cowards leave their loved ones

to fall.
