Illegal Fireworks
By Felipe De La Rosa |
Fireworks flew over our roofs that night
A symphony of lights illuminated our paths
A magical moment between the two of us
Long roof top nights; endless rambles
What if they take me?
We settle down tomorrow mi amor
Our fear grew immense like the night sky that surrounded us
The only hope of light were the fireworks
Resembling our love,
Passion raging between the two,
Burning illegally in the open sky
Leaving trails of our hot fiery love
A shriek of lights burst through our dream world
Badges thrown in our faces
My heart sank,
My fear became reality
One more day was needed
Before my life was turned to I.C.E
Jointless,
My future vanished before me
Her ride to Cal interrupted
Future family of four evaporated
Who ever said loving was illegal?
