Yes,
It came and went so quickly:
A storm that passed between,
Swept us up in a dream –
And, in a climactic scream,
Emptied
Us
Both.
Beautiful perfection
Existed for a moment,
Faltered
And the world is blue without your arms
And grey, without your mind;
It’s red, without your kisses, fine,
Refined by stalwart art
My mind creates a land of charms
With vibrant
Into my world, anew, a darkness drew —
Fell, near burning fires, a shadow’s gaze
Upon my weary count'nance; and I knew:
This shadow's grip would claim me, all
You all know it.
You all fear it.
You all want it.
You all can have it
In a moment
In a madness
In a sadness
Stilled by memories
Stilled by thoughts
Stilled
