The chills received From a brushing of lips, Painting a masterpiece only the artists understand; From a caress of the cheek, Causing goose-flesh to creep along limbs. The enlightenment found In an impenetrable embrace, Strong branches of a body Encasing another's waist. The desire felt when The closeness is not close enough; The lover is too far away, But the closeness is forbidden, For that lover is a phantom. A shadow of a dream. The half empty space, a void, As no one wishes to fill it; As no one wishes to accompany me.
