Like a whisper by your bedside
fireflies in the distance
warm night
blinking
twinkling
shimmering
glimmering
— warm breath on your ear—
the lick
lingers
on your lobe
like a whisper
by your bedside
I’ll never be again
and you’ll miss me
on the warm nights
see me in the distance
like a firefly
blinking
twinkling
shimmering
glimmering
like a whisper
that’s not really
in the room
A ghost’s lullaby
by your beside
twinkling
like a firefly.
I’m not going to hide.
Blinking
won’t stop the
warm
night.
Even in the distance,
you’ll see
the firefly
glimmering
at night
by your bedside.
Had a hunch you were bioluminescent. 😆
