Poem, Stand still, Please… Just for a while. Let me admire Your spark, Gleaming On my tears of ecstasy. Let me savour, For a fleeting moment, The scent of your Ephemeral madness. Let me drink, To get drunk On your bittersweet chaos Inebriated by your maudlin moans Let me twirl your mane of proses ; Let me fill my chest full With a whiff of your Wild untamed locks of hair, Your undulating strands Of disheveled stanza, Rhyming in turmoil To the rhythm of my agony, While my heart skips a beat. Let me hum the tune Of your sweet giggle In harmony To the loudness Of my silence... Let me varnish your form With my melancholy To make it glisten With my grief. Let yourself be mine For an evanescent moment, Before you start Bleeding on my paper, Invading every fiber Of its being With your lust to exist. Before you make yourself immortal Through the tip Of my mortal fingers, Just for a fleeting moment, Be mine...
