Like the tiny fingers of little children,
I can feel their eyes on every inch of my body.
Their breath lying lively in my ear,
Like the voices swirling in my head crying softly.

Every savory kiss from their lips
Flourish upon the surface of this tender kiss.
And their bodies move swift within the circuit of this life,
Like busy bees or antsy ants living lives.

But who is to say the eyes of their souls are true,
And not just a tortuous flirtation with my mind?
Telling lies, vague stories where truth I cannot find,
Fabricating false lives, false dreams;
Blurring the line of reality and dream, so crude.

Who is to say whenever I close my eyes
They do not disappear and become ghosts and cries?
They’re fictional characters where they and I collide
From time to time. But do they ever die?

Oh why torture me so!
What is real and what is only a continuing scold?
Lie with me, oh truth.
And teach me, too, to die in surety induced.

Love is only an excuse to hurt and to get hurt... Knowledge brings ye fear.
