If I loved you any harder, would the world turn red
A million sunsets bursting in my head?
If I held you any tighter, would the world turn grey
Committing the cosmos to this one perfect day?
If I kissed you any slower, would the world turn white
Drifting silent into the soft folds of night?
If I missed you any longer, would the world turn blue
With longing drenching my skin like dew?
If I heard your voice more clearly, would the world turn deaf
With only just my touch to sense your breath?
If I watched your face more dearly, would the world turn blind
Only after-images burned hot into my mind?
If I touched your skin more softly, would the world go numb
An eternity of flesh unable to succumb?
If I called your name more loudly, would the world go mute
With the dying stars alone faintly echoing...
...Galoot.
