i.
last night
she flooded my dreams
coming through
in waves
of rose water
poured over pale skin,
leaving
me breathless.
ii.
an overcast sky
shrouds
bitter memories
which leak
drop by drop —
spilled serum vials
emptied
into a past
swallowing up
the prouder parts
of her
(and me)
until the last kiss
goodbye.
