Dreaming Passion

I can feel your hair beneath my hungering hands, 
I can feel your breath on my cheek,
Your arms about me.

I can close my eyes and breathe in the scent of you,
And feel your mouth yearning towards mine.

So real is this dream, I feel I am creating you
Out of whole cloth:

Painted, passionate, gauze,
For just as I reach for you, 

You are gone.
