My Escape

by Aleta Gantt
(Yakima, WA - USA)

Sharing daydreams so vivid
With texture and taste
Sweet on my tongue
Skin draped in lace

They are colored romantic
Bright pallet to the eye
Purples and Yellows
In a smoldering sky

We visit this wonderland
Again and again
A tangle of fire
Wrapped in bare skin

Together we're drifting
On clouds of escape
Bodies entwined
In this world that we make

These daydreams so vivid
With reality blend
Until one is the other
Beginning and end
