for a complacent second and mind on a whim,
for naught but lukewarm and intrusion to your lips,
for I am in need of response,
instead of your usual ripostes.

amidst the gusts of snow and the lights about to sleep,
my hazy heeds compliant to your gentle kiss.
and another kiss that felt for an eternity,
but lasted for a breath.

as the parted osculation filled us with miasma
of mixed curiosity and doubt and lust,
as the light touch of our foreheads was enough,
for I to play valiant of awakening my lids.

before you blemish the cold crystals of your final steps,
before my sanity drowns in stupor,
before I silence my eyes to deep slumber,
let my foolish heart feel a pang once again.
