You crept into my mind
when I wasn't looking
you dashed across my Big Screen
to catch my attention
you lurked in my shadows
scaring the wits out of me
yet, when I turned to face you
the emptiness swallowed me

You pulsated through my veins
only to ooze away through my pores
you drifted in to my personal space
and dissipated into the ether
you stroked my aural rainbow
then left before I could reciprocate
yet, when I tried to catch up with you
the emptiness swallowed me

Your fingers run provocatively over my skin
leaving nothing but goose-flesh
your voice whispers in my dreams
hinting at your all-embracing presence
my cheeks burn with the lightness of your kiss
as the hairs on my neck rise
yet, the more I try to reach you
only the emptiness swallows me

I WILL take matters into my own hands
you will tantalise me no more.....
no more will you creep or drift
into the peripheries of my existence!
For I am coming to meet you face to face...
tis only fleeting this bittersweet taste
no longer elusive...
I swallow the emptiness!
