Artist, sculptor, and jewelry designer.

Drunk at 2 a.m.

One street light flickers in the distance
But we remain in the dark
Bodies one bench apart
I pull you closer to me
Ask the moon to sing a song
So we could celebrate this love
You smell like home
Coffee mixed with vodka
A hint of heavy cigarettes
The smell of despair
I run my fingers along the lines of your face
Perhaps I could create a masterpiece out of you
Sell it
And buy you the moon
You place your hand on the curve of my hip
Begin to move
Create a melody out of our bodies
A sweet tune to shush the world to sleep
And we remain awake
Stumbling on each other’s hearts
The street light turn off at 2 am
You step into the dark
And the hand on my hip turns out to be mine
Was I imagining you?
Or were you the one imagining me?
The moon begins to sing for me
And the sky moves closer
I look up to see you dancing with the stars
I reach a hand towards you
Ask you to pull me closer 
But the sun rises too early
And the night ends too soon
Takes you with it
Leaves me on the corner of the street
Still dancing
