["11 minutes away."]

Under time's sovereignty,
two hearts unite.
Like Cinderella's fable,
except "happily ever after" was inexistent.

Sloppy kisses spiralled into fumbling hands,
In the solace of darkness hidden from espying eyes.
Fingers intertwined,
Ajar lips worshipping names like kingdoms.

The runes began to fade,
Silk duvets left with empty air and clenched fists.
Their evanescent story dwindled,
And the wanderlust continues,
Till the ephemeral and the eternal meet again,
11 minutes away from midnight.
