Sonic Boom And Glowing Firefly (A Love Story) Poem by Brian Hinckley

Sonic Boom and
Glowing Firefly.
They lived together once,
forsaken lovers in a troubled time.

Sonic Boom worked all day,
suffocating in a suit and tie.
His skin shed when night fell,
moving from club to club with deafening speed.

He lived a life of music,
playing in his rock band.
He lived at sub-sonic speeds,
stopping only when her fire got his attention.

Glowing Firefly moves with grace unseen,
her light mixing with the neon signs above her.
She dances and moves like the wind,
her glossy lips shimmering in her smile.

She worked in retail hell,
selling food and drink to the starving masses.
Nighttime left that world behind her,
but that was before she met him.

They met over a bottle of vodka,
falling in love on the dance floor.
Sonic Boom and Glowing Firefly,
they began their journey that night.

For months they owned the night,
traveling bar to club to party.
Many daywalkers disapproved of their love,
but it didn't matter because the night was theirs.

The feelings of those in the light grew,
forcing the lovers to make a choice.
That night Sonic and Firefly met,
that night they left the city forever.

Sonic Boom and Glowing Firefly,
star-crossed lovers who defied the odds.
It is said they moved to another city far away,
where they continue their love under the neon lights.
