AKING:Against All Odds

curious and cautious
in a stagger on my heart's track
how vast the world was
by the lights of lime we gather
inflamed like moths to a fire

nautious like lovers
tripping on the heart's trap
the gullible uncovered
a feint radiance
two dullards finding their colour

against all odds
caught between a curve and a soft spot
against all odds
unraveled in each other's arms

awkward
in a state of undress
how shy it was to touch
uneven out the evening
discreetly mocking the morning

struck by the moon I threw myself over
the night has a rainbow mutely hovering

weightless under covers
slip into the heart's lap
zealously juvenile
an old-fashioned raucous promise
nestles beneath the bravado
