Each shining you to each shining you

the daylight was fraying at the edges

as each page burned brightly in her hand

walking too fast for her feet to meet pavement

slabs with a regular beat

she stumbled and spilt the words on to the ground

“not” landed next to “now”

“love” to a distant “desire”

“loss” laying with “aspire”

all her words scattered

not saying a sound

 

everyone saw

everyone knew

each shining you

to each shinning you

 

The words were fraying at the edges

as she scurried and grasped them in her hand

heart beating too fast for the seconds to

keep a clear count

They stuck to her hands with all the sweat and hurry

“look” next to “up”

“love” to a near “desire”

“loss” laying with “aspire”

all the words she scattered

in her worry

 

And she saw

and she knew

that shinning you

to shinning you

 

his shadow was firm at the edges

as he knelt to help collect words in his hand

exchanging silent glances as words flow

through their hands

while their fingers shuffled and danced away

“yes” next to “yes”

“love” is true “desire”

“heart” sleeps with “fire”

no words can match what

a look can say

 

Then they were

him and her

both shining you

to shining you

-- oh, this is delightful... -- the composition and the rendition are exceptionally unique... -- you'd have to know the english language extremely well to write so creatively about the words in double quotes... -- also, the title of this piece is enchanting and the way you justified it is even more enchanting... -- this poem is like a sea of sparkles... as perfect as the ending of the perfect story narrated in this piece...
