Short Amethyst Ocean poem.
Stars on your Skin
They were friends when she first saw his bare exposed back
dotted with freckles like stars in the night sky.
.
And whenever he was gone,
she would draw stars on her knuckles,
because they reminded her of him
.
He often told her that her eyes were like a midsummer sunset,
and he loved the way her lips were painted the color of a dusky dawn.
.
Their first date was a trip out of town
where they parked in a ditch of an old gravel road
and watched the meteors fall
.
And as the stars burned bright and the moon hung low,
he pulled her close and whispered slow,
'you're more beautiful than them all.'
