I told the Genie for my third and final wish, that I wanted my family to be happy.

Then I started fading.

The  moon  within  your

eyes swallowed  my sky

and  the  very  fabric  of  

your soul glowed within  

my  heart.


I opened your chest and

tasted   your   soul ;

now my  tongue  drips  

with  moonlight   and

rose petals.


Your  gorgeous  chaos  was

a  danger  to  my  beautifu­l

ordinary life, and it was then

I knew that we might become

beautifully   extraordinary

together.
