letters to past lovers

you came like a tempest and swept me away

you pulled me down and, for once, felt my heart beating

our collision was orchestrated by those above. matter and antimatter, hurdling toward an event horizon

i was lost someplace between darkness and desire.

we were a fever dream

“stay” you whispered as i walked towards the door

i could smell the sunlight on your skin, your eyes and your softness, your utter pliability and sensual deference

i kissed you and could taste the force of a thousand galaxies between our lips

you were a beacon of light

so i left you in the morning time.

there was love in the air and i simply couldn’t breathe

i know now you were right, but i was already gone
