once, I heard
your laughter...

For a reason I can't explain,
I was always so afraid...

If
I say the light...

They said I was born as a teardrop
to evade your grasp...

I tried
to paint the sun and realised...

You know, you really do give me strength
in your fractured fragility...

I thought I knew
my place in the world...

Nightmares and whispers still come
and go, like Time, in such restless beauty...

your leaves
(when they part with you in autumn...

Beauty can fade
like a tainted rose, or...

Your smile
shone like reflections that opened...

It all came, as the wind comes,
a silence too deafening for mortal ears...
