littlesillynow by Ann LaurenIt's a littlesillynow,
How lovely it was --
but understated in its beauty.
It's a littlefoolishnow,
How brightly your kiss was --
it burned my lips in the worst way,
and melted my pink tongue.
& when I kissed the burning lightbulb
underneath a shy black shade,
I never expected the burn would emulate
More real life than we gave it credit for.
I'm a little silly now,
thoughts clear and running through my head --
but then I didn't know,
that I kissed a star. 09/06/2003 Posted on 09/07/2003 Copyright © 2024 Ann Lauren

I think these are my favourite two lines of all. But the whole thing was stunning.
