Serum

I don't dwell in you,

I live far off the beaches,

the sea, the oceans of brinking salts

looking at you, reaching to you

garnering your eyes from flaxen brown

to the color of gravy honey dew.

Revealing your freckles

with the kiss of melanin

on the rosy cherry cheeks.

Filling you with lights

to make you emit a rainbow

Like a visit through your soul

and scattering your beauty all across.

Yet I couldn't touch you

Or tell how much I love you.

cause if I did, you may burn;

Burn to ashes in fumes.

I wish I could come near you

But by then, you will miss your shadow

where your distress could never welcome my glow.

So in peace

I exist as a star,

Far and firm

Knowing, you love my light

And that's enough for my existence to caress your lymphocytes.
