Stranger

You smile at me
With virgin eyes,
As if all those years
Were never spent.

Your humour seduces
My heartbeats again,
Even as they flew
Away from sunshine.

You cleaned up well,
Your alabaster face
Mocks the cheer
I crayoned onto mine.

Your lazy elbows,
Innocent yawns,
Steal me and I return,
Shattered into sand.

Let me be darkness.
I was looking for my friend,
And found a stranger.
I cannot lie half as well.
