he had a short
dalliance with life
that began with
gentle caresses
and loving touches.
he had a short
dalliance with life
that sped up
midway
and morphed
into
passionate encounters
and heated glances
and ragged breathing
and everything in between.
he had a short dalliance
with life that grew
into
smothered love
and bitter hatred
and broken souls
and tear streaked faces
and--
and everything in between.
he had a short
dalliance with life--
because it had to end.
