Real

The room smells of sun and honey
Rays of light seep through the veils
I feel the first itching of desire
Awakening my child's body

Curled in the cradle
Holding my favorite doll
I kiss her fake lips and big brown eyes

I'm dizzy with delusion
Fancying soft warm thighs
I'm dizzy with delusion
As minutes drift by

One day in the shade of the garden tree
The girl without a face
Without a name
Gave me a lover's kiss
Though she was ten years older than me

My head was as lost as the vanishing hour
A remote longing was all I could feel
It was like sand flowing between my fingers

But I'm sure now
That the moment was real
