A Virus that Kills

Flushed cheeks and labored breathing,
pulse beating and pounding like crazy.
The noise of the crowd is receding,
hearing nothing but you speaking.
Trembling hands and weakened knees,
what madness is this, can you tell me please?
My mind's thoughts are all quiet and still,
cold as ice like last year's winter's chill.
I am tempted to reach out and kiss
those lips of yours to taste real bliss.
But perhaps this is just a prelude to a dream,
where things may not be what they seem.
Or a deadly virus that is spreading inside me,
and one that I won't do anything but leave it be.

In Dreams

In dreams we give
each other a kiss.
A kiss on lips
hungry for its taste.
In dreams we hold
each other's hands
with a promise tattooed
on each other's heart.
In dreams we love
forever and ever.
Close your eyes dear heart,
let's dream together.

In the Middle of Nowhere

I find myself thinking,
why was I abandoned here?
In the middle of nowhere
where there is nothing to see
nor water to break the monotony?
Just a never ending land
devoid of personality.
How do I even know
that I'm in the middle of anything?
Must be a glitch in my brain
or I am still dreaming.
Why am I here?
In the most desolate of places?
Where tumbleweeds are my only company?
I can feel fine white sand submerging my feet
soothing me with its soft caresses.
I feel trapped in an endless world,
a speck of imagination easily crushed
by the weight of loneliness.
I can see the dunes forming
so I will lie down and dream
that I'll be miles away when I wake up
instead of being trapped
in the middle of nowhere.
