Endless Night
Approaching the doorway
Parched, numb mouth
Eyes twitching
Attempting to preserve a coolness
A turbulent storm inside a calm sea
Sweaty palms grasping a bouquet of unfolding roses
An offering to his goddess
The gates open before him
A frozen moment in eternity
Broken by his nervous, blushing smile
Thrusting forwards the foliage
A cracked, stuttering voice, uttering his words
The start of an endless night
~Shana~
