him - stay

In a moment
of sheer delirium
I speak: "Stay!"
I feel like I am
possessed by something
unfathomable.
My voice gruff from
lack of use.
I spin on my heel,
turn and move the
painting, setting it
on the ground.
I replaced it
with a new
one - the white
like freshly fallen snow.
I hurry to squeeze
out dollops
of colour
on my palette
and I pick up my brush.
"Stay," I repeat.
I am desperate,
my mind is running
images and scenes
that long
to be made
concrete.
I need to put them down
but if you flee
I'm sure
these thoughts
of such beautiful
scenes
will leave
as well.
