we only said goodbye with words

12 November 2007

when i was so much more than something

my darling here,
i ask you:
can we explode
(bedridden - not
and rose drenched)
into nothingness?

pretty your eyes parting
and your cool lips
aflutter
you do but say
naught and
in great stead,
unbreakable like a diamond,
you prefer
to kiss me
as an answer that
sings Yes and
screams No
and electrifies
all in between

(why nothingness
perhaps you ponder?
why because new
when i hold you
there is nothing else
but the hum of your body,
so beautiful and new a thing
every time).
