Neon Fires

Rose petals like neon fires
Violets like shady blues
Winds whisper your echoed desires
Let’s hear your blushing news

Speak away by the falling sun
Whispers secrets beyond the moon
How many stars from zero to none?
You’ll understand this all by noon

How do you know of my whereabouts?
And why do I care about his?
Silly miracles by a clever disaster
The way rebellion screams and shouts

Makes the world spin faster
Deprives me of air, of movement, of touch
Voice like gravel, emotions like magic
Examining the impossible but not by much
