January before I leave

I can’t see my beauty for the blinding whack of yours

I can’t hear my voice for the thunderous purr of yours

I can’t see anything but you on my sheets

We’ve got the same blood fella

It rocketed through our veins at once

The haze of our encounter is how I imagine an afterlife

The eternal ecstasy of you in my sights

The universe was finally something I could hold in my arms

You brought it to me, into my room

The same room I wondered how anyone comes to hold all they feel

You talked of loved ones with a wide smile

Cocked your lips and nudged mine

Cast a spell 

That only after I opened my eyes to see yours exploding could it be undone

You left a hundred years too soon 

I was just about to whisper

Please stay
