Self-Inflicted Fancies


Each night of solace,
I close my eyes;
and imagine that space
is the man in my mind.
Trying to picture
the plot of my dream,
I visualize the scenes
as I embrace the wind.
Pretending that I
am wrapped in his arms,
I succumb to the thrill
of artificial warmth.
For a second, I thought
the murmur of the breeze
is actually his voice
requesting for a kiss.
Sporadic pecks
have waltzed their way:
goosebumps cuddled
my tender nape.
A hint of moisture
has brushed my neck
as my bosom reveals
tears of sweat.
My fingers soared
each curve and cave;
a silent moan
escapes from my lips.
Alas, a thrust from within
has warped me back
in my chamber: alone.
Once again
loneliness has reigned;
his silhouette has vanished
together with the wind.
