when Dusk settles on the Thought(of You)

why
shall we taste
another time
another place altogether
together

yet
meet we must
like we do
ever so urged
to re-open remnants of stale wounds

my heart
it loves
to pine
and
your's
prefers to pound
pacelessly

why
we have found universes before
forget it
that's enough to leave nothing to lose
give up easy
give in smooth

oh
desire and her fangs
the folly lies in knowing
yet getting bitten twice;
once with the if
and then by the but

yet
meet we will
like we do
goldfish in a mosaic
eventually
freedom will liberate us

our time will come
in a bitter bit

our time will come
as a sweet surprise

...
