Shattered Amber at Twilight's Edge
Gold leaf on the water. A thousand shards of amber light dancing against my skin.
The city breathes behind me—a jagged skyline, glass teeth biting into a bruised sky. I am here to mend what was broken in the noise of neon and concrete.
My feet press against the stone path; each step is a pulse, a rhythmic healing beat. The wind catches my hair like silk threads being pulled from a loom. It whispers secrets of other lives—lives lived in reflections, caught between two ripples on the river's surface.
I wear this yellow sun as if it were skin itself. A thin veil against the coming chill. He is not here yet, but I feel his gaze like a warmth that precedes him—a phantom touch of affection blooming in my chest.
We are fragments scattered across an urban tapestry. But tonight, under the dying light's kiss, we align. One piece fitting into another. A soul finding its center amidst the beautiful chaos of shattered mirrors.
