Not Like This
Not Like This
night unites silence
sighing here because
it won’t always be like this
your arms enshroud me
for a few minutes delayed
framing you is an advantage
in positive film next to me until
time doesn’t end
the way sentiments paint
tense hugging myself too
tears squeeze through escaping on one leg
hopping and skipping one by one
the night remains my company
even a dearest confidant
intense emotions with you…
while this is a presence
while bodies lay quiet
holding your arms in place
moving could diminish this hour
ruin the whole thing
precious contents volunteering recall
desperately rolling over
spreading my hands over your face
turning to lines sleeping handsome
as the sun has its way
this is all I get because
day break is betrayal and you go…
but not like this
