last

i was steady

until you swept me

off my feet

and i sprouted wings.

we rode on the galaxies

laid on the moon

as the world

stood still.

you ran your fingers

through my hair

and i remembered

that i feel.

you took my breath

away

and i remembered

that i breathe.

like Jupiter

you lit up my eyes -

like Venus,

you burned.

every day

was night -

a glittering oasis

of stars.

they say

there will be others

who will kiss

your forehead.

but to me you are

the last man

on an the universe

empty of you.
