We hold imaginary hands
Whisper to unseen ears
Then we smile smiles unreplied
And laugh lone laughers
We hug ourselves to calm jittery passions
We breathe
Take our minds to unsolicited journeys
We revel in events of yesterday
And beg memories to stay put
***
We listen to the buzz of mosquitoes
As we lie on soft, fluffy pillows
Minds wander to soft, green meadows
And of those we wish were our heroes
The bite of the mosquito brings us back to reality
Jolting away the passionate face from our memories and murals
***
We slam doors on the face of reality
Lock ourselves in cages of fantasy
Then we feel roaming hands
Listen to our hearts redo speedy beats
And see our hands tremble at imaginary togetherness
But we smile
Laugh even
At the reality of fantasy
And the realness of moments gone past
