Poetry by Anna Gaskill

 

 

Two-Way Mirror

The warmth
of your caress
upon my cheeks fade,
leaving only the wind's
chilled breeze.

A strong desire
for your lips
pressed softly
against my own
overpowers me.

Oh, my love, how
the feel of your
gentile touch
is comforting
across my skin.

We reside together
in my dreams;
for all eternity where
we'll exchange vows
of everlasting affection.

But through
a two-way mirror
I can see your body,
upon another, giving
her all of your love.
