The water
poured in
amidst waves
of black
and white
Right
into streams
and realms
left untouched
As a
of strikes
Fell

Diving
deeper and deeper
into oceans
Holding on to everything
letting go of nothing
,
Sinking
into everything
I never wanted us to be
and
simultaneously
did
–
Gasping
In the pursuit of more
Still
Wanting it to end
–
Needing
air

It was you
Blossoming in splattering shades of
black and white.
–
Taken back
to times
when this
might
have been something else
,
to times
when this
might
have been something
more
–
To times
When I wanted you.
To stay.

We could see
the sun’s reflection
across sections
of
rolling seas,
We stood
under an eternity
of palm trees
sipping tea
held
in palms
already simmering,
Simmering
as we stood
staring.
And that’s when
You asked me if
I loved you too
And
all I did
was look at you
Stammering

The train rolled through
scattered
desert plains
and
rusting aeroplanes
As
I chased
and chased
until
I broke through
to reality.
9.15 AM
Morning.
