Is it real? Feb 24, 2015

 

Is what I see of her the true self or an illusion I imagine as my tongue plays on the tips of her chest or laps up the honey of her delegate flower down below.

Is that which my fingers feel real or what my mind had conjured up in the depths of night, long after her encouragement has cease, and I live with the mirage of what once was, a ravished tongue seeking an imaginary oasis, and coming up empty, I am still dying of thirst, still cursed.

Is she real, what I feel, or is this illusive winged creature as vapid as a humming bird, her wings too fast for my brain to comprehend? Is what I felt once real or as empty as the night is now, the magic trick where the pea is under none of the shells, as I point to this shell and then, yet real or not, I still feel it, under my tongue, under my fingers, as I plunge deep into her dark interior.
