Refusal

Refusal
Beloved.
In what other lives or lands
Have I known your lips
Your hands
Your laughter brave
Irreverent.
Those sweet excesses that
I do adore.
What surety is there 
That we will meet again.
On other worlds some
Future time undated.
I defy my haste.
Without the Promise
Of one more sweet encounter
I will not deign to die.
-Maya Angelou
