#afterplay

I will never forget the first time I heard your voice, fell madly for the way you would sing from the side of your mouth formed into a mischievous sneer, those thick lips, the gap between your teeth…that squint when you took a drag & the smoke got in your eyes. You were divinely gifted; both sinner & saint; the perfect blend of peace & chaos, darkness & light. Son of a Prince, you dig, but a King in your own right. No one could do it like you. You are not here, but forgotten you will never be…
