Just Stopping Short of Infinity

The ice was cold on the outside,
but here I sat melting away.
My hands were on fire with touch,
for her smile had willed me to stay.
I looked out at bay before us
and whispered a prayer to the moon,
"oh highest of gods in the heavens,
my soul will be joining you soon."

The time turned me on to expression,
my grasp found her bright at my side
to cherish the moment that I had to share
by the violet light in her eyes
