halcyon days of tinted lilac;
the saccharine sweetness lingering
in my mouth like honeyed words.

paint this pain of nostalgia
in your aureate poetry:

[ i will be your canvas, will you be mine? ]

clouds of watercolour,
pigments are bleeding and so are
these paint-stained fingertips that
caress your tear-stained cheeks.

[ can we ever be infinite? shall we? dare we? ]

those glowing days are effervescent.
and effervescent they were, just as we
fizzle out along with these sparks.

those sunrises of liquid gold
& sunsets of molten fire –
exothermic and combusting
[ just as we are? ]

but where do we find this fuel?
entropy is not on our side.

your laughter is euphony to my ears,
the soundtrack of elysian times
i almost believed that we could rise
through the fog to reach
the clear empyrean,
but alas did gravity
root us to the
dirt.

after all, here i am now:
whittled down to bones,
drunk on intoxicating,
futile reminiscence;

clinging to the only remnant
that remains – history.
