Reality, Or?

Jennifer Paige©1999

I sigh and await your sweet return

            Lover—

You monopolize my thoughts

            Slide slowly like honey into each crevasse

            And hollow, sweet and golden

Memory ebbs and flows

            Consumes my every breath

            And replaces it with soft moans as they escape

            Your lips,

Reaching in all the right places

            You kiss every inch of me

In dream

In reality

Which is truth?

In dreams you feel tangible against me

In reality I float off the ground on a cloud

            Unable to detect any nuance of a difference

            When skin on skin in either realm

My mind recalling you does so with such detail

            That it is as though you are here with me

            When I close my eyes

The heat we create awakens me in the night with slick thighs

            And the sobering, empty chill that crashes through

            The dizzy, drunk visions is

            Harrowing
