Marvel

You are a marvel
as we are tangled
in two
your heartbeat against my skin
our bodies
warm with emotion
like summer moist
and dragonflies

You are the strength
I once denied myself
your eyelashes tender
upon my cheek
fluttering
like the butterflies
under my nerves
as you whisper
promising words
that hold life in their wake

You are a reality
born out of mirages
I couldn't reach
and you are
everglowing
like the stars i would pick
out of the sky
just for you.
