Escapism

Infestation of my mind!

Ghost ever-present you have proved,

This embrace will not loose.

How hast thou hold over me,

Delirious untouchable ecstasy?

Mocked my attempts of fresh air,

With panging flashbacks of when you were there.

And how now everything is a bore!

I seek sensations you have born,

Through a drag of glass and exhale of smoke.

I surrender to memory’s synthetic elope!

Smile languidly in a schizophrenic haze,

Visions of laughter and your soft graze-

Heat my lips

And stroke my hair

Lapping lazily, as I lay bare.

Till finally I reach out.

Reciprocate your hold, and admit in a whisper,

“You are felicity, that which I searched for.”
