A Particle of Love

 

From the sky above the starry veil,  

You came, so suddenly, so frail,  

Carrying a whisper, light as air,  

A particle of love laid bare.    

 

You came, a dream, an angel’s breath,  

A fleeting touch, untouched by death,  

Yet trapped in words, broken, scattered,  

A language lost, a heart that shattered.    

 

No time to blink, no space to stray,  

You stayed, so suddenly, you stayed that way,  

A fleeting shadow, a silent tune,  

A love that flickered, gone too soon.    

 

An illusion, woven, pale, and bright,  

Born to fade into the night,  

I kissed you, yet I found no trace,  

Not a single particle of love’s embrace.
