Solace

Concrete steps and mint chip ice-cream
Warm nights simmer my skin to heat
Starlit, but shy was the ceiling above
Crickets humming away distinctly.

Unsteadily heart, beats both fast then slowly

The street lamps glow amber and fiery lit

Mellowly a voice, gently whispers distantly
A secret shattering laughter that drifts so closely

In this sleepless night
Among lurking silhouettes

Embracing the other side of me
