i sense

i hear echoes
spiraling in an empty valley
mixed with wind and dust

i see chaos down the ages
overlaid in optical delusions
with a kaleidoscopic twist

i smell your sweet body heat
shimmering in a mirage
on a bridge never crossed

i taste of madness
mourning dew drenched sadness
of time wasting away

i feel pain as desire
in pursuit of happiness
free to dream and live
