Opium

By Ghalia S.

Opium
Sweet and pure on my tongue
Delicate and endless in my head
I breathe you
And you are my opium
My very own hallucination

I wished for your presence
Yesterday, or before
Maybe it was during slumber
Or during a life I never knew
And still
I only see you
When my eyes are blinded
And I only feel you
When my senses
Are lost to ether

Recurring symphonies of you
Seep into my heart
And allow my breath to escalate
I breathe you again
I breathe you till eternity
My sweet
Ephemeral
Opium
