(The Kiss, Edvard Munich, 1897)

Do you not see that we are tied by one string?
Our love shrouded
Woven in the fibers of the heavens
Lost at first breath
Shades of grey, but not forgotten
You see in your mind’s eye
I am as real as you
Flesh within your grasp
Our breath as one
Lips upon lips, hand into hand
Your body enraptures me
I fold into you; sanctum
You embrace with all that you are–all that I need
All that I am returned unto you
I want to scream, “Wake up!”
But it is I who dreams
My tears wet upon my cheeks reminding me
There is no one there
Just darkness
