aa you lay watching the sky, i lay watching you as a rainbow found its home in your bottomless gaze, and i longed to follow that prismatic fracture and coil myself around the curves of your heart;
did you know, i whisper, uncaring of the curious alligators with slitted eyes, that each time i tell you that i love you it is a different shade, like the swirl of rainbow still lost in your iris;
you just smile as the lavender burst breaks from my lips, the wildflowers blossom as we pass, everywhere your serendipitous umbra casts dual shadows, a myriad of colors open to impress you;
we floated on the backs of alligators, the world an ever shifting dreamsplatter in diaphonous splendor, but the only matter of importance is that slight smile when our eyes meet
