Love in the land of Make-believe

Feather-light
Your touch
Like static electricity
Flowing through fingertips
Tenderness, transferred
Then dissolving to nothing
In an instant
Leaving me bereft.

My skin longs for lingering touch
For warmth spreading through
Not electric shocks
That fade on waking.

Losing it

The ever-shrinking woman…

It makes me feel so shallow.

I worry

If I shrink much more

Will I become

Just the skin and bones

Of my vanity?

Will my satisfaction

Melt away?

Leviathan

Blue lake
Water reflecting purple mountains
Strong wind ripples the surface;
It almost looks like it is simmering,
Like some giant leviathan from the deep
Is about to rise.

Long-distance

I’m so scared
The future
Seems to stretch emptily before me
I can feel you
But you’re slipping away
I can hold you
But not for much longer.
How will I live
The moments between each phone call?
How will I live
Unable to hold you in my arms?
