A
winter night invades me
Like
you once did.
It
draws me
Into
a pool of radiant memories,
flooded
with you.
As
you surround me
Crowding
my mind like compartments of a local train
You
sink in my moment like spattered ink in paper,
Burn
within me with the mild flame of my lighter,
Enter
my ears with a Pink Floyd song,
Toss
a coin with you on both sides,
Kiss
me into a world where timepieces are kaput,
Walk
out of my sleep from the fringes of a dream
A
winter night invades me
And
leaves me gently with unmingled madness
Like
you once did.
