"Waking"

by Jeph Johnson

 

We had some sort of sex last night or something to the intimate equivalent.

 

She let me touch her as she smiled and I believed again in bliss for I recalled it once existed.

 

And those smiles were accompanied by the soft and gentle closing of emerald eyes.

 

Her cheeks faintly kissed my fingertips as I began painting a mural of the only real glimpse I've ever had of love.

 

Even in my dreams my art's misunderstood, for I woke up long before I should've.
