Amnesia
Kim Paulus
Close your eyes
And forget
For just a moment.
Forget who you are
Forget standards,
And morals,
And history,
And time.
Forget everything
Except you
And me.
Feel my arms around you,
My lips against yours,
And forget for just a moment
that I am not, And never will be,
Him.
Forget the black and white-
Love is not a photograph.
I am not the light,
Nor am I the darkness.
I am the evening,
Twilight. I am here
Accepting what you cannot,
What you fear no one can.
I ask nothing of you except that
For just a moment,
You close your eyes
And forget.
