VERSE | STAY

The tea’s still warm upon our breath 
The samosa crunch still lingers
On the horizon the sun now rests
Like a russet-orange finger

The quiet echoes of our chats
Still reverberate around
Won’t you stay as the garden plays
Out its evening song?

My heart still beats toasty warm
From your visit to me today
Let me have my fill of you
For a little longer, stay

The tea’s still warm upon our breath
Memories plume out in wraiths
Reminiscing, remembering
The sweetness of bygone days
