In Case You Ask

In case you ask. 

I want to trace the trail
of constellations that pepper your eyes

and dust [star]-dust

into the crevices of your soul;

the same crevice

I want to crawl into

To never emerge.

For there, shines sheer shivering brilliance,

a love unparalleled:

friendship, proportion, and faith.

Not a love that overthrows life,

or riots the heart;

but instead a map

built with stardust

revealing infinite paths

to the amber glow of this,

[whatever this is],

Love.
