fever
there is fever in my lips
when i touch them together
warmth upon warmth
i lay in front of a fan to cool myself
hoping the heat will die away
and i will be left in repose
and my skin will not know the agony
it has for the past few hours
i wonder if you can feel my lips
from there
can you see the heat coming off of them?
could you feel it if you touched my lips
maybe then you would have my fever
i dreamt of you in my delusional state
in my haunted dreams
and brightly lit fantasies
are you there, are you part of my fever
