Stay 2022, Reynier LLanes

I find myself clinging to the remnants of your presence,

Wounded by your incandescence,

It’s etched onto me,

Seared into my skin at third degree,

Your lips break my skin,

Though to my chagrin,

You flicker before my eyes,

And hum a few lullabies,

I can feel myself slipping,

Feel my heart ripping,

My claws dig into your arm

As you get undone like a charm

        Dear Cece,
        I greatly love your country & pray to the Almighty to give me next birth there. If someone there offers a small hut, even then I will come & stay there. I am Prof Dr Rajendra or Raj from Pune, India. I am a retired Professor, Translator, Music critic, blogger.
        Thanks Cece ❤️ 😊
