littlesillynow

by Ann Lauren

It'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.

& when I kissed the burning lightbulb underneath a shy black shade. I think these are my favourite two lines of all. But the whole thing was stunning.

I think this is my favourite piece of yours out of all the material I've read. Awesome.

"& when I kissed the burning lightbulb underneath a shy black shade," yeah, I love those too.
