So what if the power went off? Aren’t we blessed with predusk golden hour, A silken pang of time When light and dark become one? Who needs light bulbs when you’ve got candles? And what would be more pleasant Than letting the lit up world go by without us? Are you afraid of me? I admit I can’t resist the seduction of darkness But you needn’t worry, I won’t hurt you Unless you count love as hurting Which might not…
We signed up for a lifelong of happiness But agreed to sorrows too We solemnly uttered in sickness And rather joyously in health In retrospective, till death do us part Doesn’t sound half as bad as, let’s say, Donating one’s kidney. But probably most daunting of it all is commiting To a lifetime of enduring each other in all our worst Early in the morning And very late at night And in all those nutsy, obsessive afternoons.

There’s so much dawn light painted on your skin Twinkling, shaky stars in your gaze Honey sweetness on your mouth And all the buzzing of the bees in your kisses. I daydream of you, Until I comically stumble of suddenly unfamiliar furniture. The wispy cirrus clouds are threading the sky, Like paper planes, carrying your name. Secretly, I wait for the night to fall; The darkness is complicit, Everything is allowed, Even me loving you. Image @ unsplash
