Adesola Oladoja redux

WISH YOU STAY 

oh that this twinkle will stay 
to create an inferno 
and last the night 
last the years 

oh that this smile will never fade that 
cut across my streams and valleys 
munched, crunched to reappear 
like cuds that billies chew 

and if the night will, it could stay 
stay my fears and daylight's shame 
shame the light that scorns my look 
when I know there can't be 'US' 

oh that this moment will dwell 
and I may all creatures tell 
the joy in its pent up folly 
the comfort that thus make me wholly 

alas this twinkle won't stay 
it is meant for miles away
