Alive Once

He was alive once.

His eyes sparkled
with some kind of forgotten light...

His body moved more gracefully
than anybody.

Prettier
than I could ever be.

When I leaned my head
upon his shoulder, everything would be happy.

When I kissed him
it would stop time.

And again it comes to his eyes
always to his eyes
always so alive.

You can only be alive once.

Author notes

Just a lover reflecting, I guess.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!
