chocolate stars

first poem for a former love interest.

liquid rich,

deep and wondering,

chocolate stars of your soul

darting out and

around your easy smile,

one friendly and glowing--

looking for life, looking for love.

stars of umber

dark and wandering,

pressed warm to your earth,

peeking from

behind a quiet smile.

your silent smile,

one secret yet knowing--

searching for life, searching for love.
