Collide with me that we may intertwine
That your fire will ignite my noblest thoughts
Nurture back to life my frozen heart
Embellishing its tart and wintry wine
When last our bold and erratic orbits crossed
Barely had I time to see your warmth
Barely time to point my telescope to the heavens
I saw a trail of white and bluish frost
Pass not like a comet through my night
Let me hold you and caress your heated core
Tell me tales of your far and distant journeys
I pray that I may bathe within your light
