On grass

Under a starless sky,
My body lays on frozen grass,
its cold touch soak my clothes,
as my eyes lose their light.

Stars!
Their warm welcoming smile,
and their soft splendor,
take me further.
Into the vast void of death,
I wander.

Time moves aimlessly,
it dances, and sings,
and my memories are lost
to the endless bliss.

Suddenly,
A voice,
A whisper,
A painful scream.
Her voice fills me,
my being, my mind, my purpose.

Air and water
fill my lungs once more,
and, with a deep breath,
my eyes stumble upon hers.
If only loving her, was as easy as dying.
