i became that soundless sanctuary.

your pulse, the rising tune weaving

through the spilling dance of dew.

though in collapsing pursuit,

i tread on blankets of silk,

billowing clouds yielded, parting.

even if and when

the wind looses direction,

summer grass darkens,

mountains topple in larger avalanche,

we were a pause, a hiatus;

an eternal yesterday;

a fleeting patchwork;

paper planes against the world.

i was moses

of the morning shower;

you were the devil

clinging onto

the crook of my arm.

no more than

a poorly enunciated

“miaow"

(her eyes were sapphires

and I was sure no other gem would make me feel more alive.

always in my mind.)

i was the devil's advocate

^{I love this! Your imagery is down right gorgeous, and i'm jealous of how naturally the piece flows and forms together. Really good job! Good luck in the contest! <3}
