Phantasmal Embrace

Phantasmal embrace--
Arms molded from fibers of wind
Coiling around my form...
The gentle, illusory caress
Casting a succession of shivers
Fluttering across my skin.

I allow my eyelids to fall
And your luminescence to pull me
Into catatonic bliss-- rendered paralyzed
By the way your eyes send whispers
Shooting deep into my soul.

I can sense your breath
Tingling...lingering upon my face
As with an airy sigh
I let your memory possess me
And the ghosts of your fingers
Traverse upon my curves.

My tears subside for the moment
That your image flickers here
Within secluded daydreams
For I can have you near-- like this
Even if it's only in my thoughts...
