47. Ma dame en flammes

"Maybe another time and space

When I look you in the face

Far, far away

Maybe in another life"

Lava Lamp - Thundercat

I wait 

for myself

by my nightstand

to slowly  

fall asleep

so I can creep in

to wake up

in that

alter universe

where 

I can 

still find you

As I'm falling

deeper

into that void

your face

gets clearer

your skin

warmer

and your kisses

become

alive

again

I see 

your silhouette
eclipsing
the light
at the end 
of the tunnel

my heart 
beats faster
as you get 
closer
to me

I guess 
the fuss 
you create
in me 
is a 
constant
in every
universe

As I 
grab you
firmly
by the waist
our chests 
fuse into one
and my scar
ignites
from beneath
my skin
and sparks
start flying
all around us
like 
they always do

My fingers
fit perfectly
between 
your rib bones
like 
missing pieces
of the same 
puzzle

Every kiss
of yours 
burns
but I've been
frozen
for so long
far from you

I stop 
and stare
at your 
lovely face
as you
smile 
and slightly
close your 
eyes

I don't want
to blink
because
I try to
take you back
with me
along 
with 
your image
when 
I open my eyes

but
I can't

I wake up
to a 
cold 
empty space
beside me

But 
your implacable
presence
your breathless 
charm
your unforgettable
beauty
and your
overwhelming
memory

somehow
leap over
space and time
to bring me 
the joy
that I share
with everyone
around
me
on a 
daily basis

and the love
that overflows
for you
inside me
I give back 
to the 
whole world

Since we're
offlimits
during 
this grieve
that burns 
my guts

my best
for you now
are these words
