You!
you are
an infectious disease
–
you
plague
my every waking moment
–
thoughts of you
even creep in
to corrupt
my dreams
–
you
attack my cells
metastasizing
and multiplying
–
my system
cannot fight you off
and you spread
until
you and I
are one
no longer
distinguishable
or divisible
and
I
am
better
for
it.

Great! Fab imagery 🙂
Thank you!
You’re welcome! 🙂
Ooh. Very well done. Makes me want to get immunized.
🙂 Thanks!
Amazing, so poetic.
Thank you
What an image! True enough. Great.
Thanks dear Gigi 🙂
Ah, I was writing you a comment when my ride for dinner pulled up. Works as a perfect post-dinner treat for my mind. Me, you, no longer two…is what I think of desserts before I eat them. 🙂
LOL very true! A friend came over with Krispy Kreme doughnuts (after 11 at night) and I had 2!
Awww this is so sweet!
Thank you so much 🙂
Very powerfull writing, I loved the pacing and the atmosphere the words created, I was left expecting what the next part will say every time.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment 🙂
Bravo! I love it! Isn’t the day easier when thoughts like this enter your brain? Sounds like love.
Your “infectious” choice of words inspired me to write my latest story… “Infectious Residency” Thank you!

Smiling broadly, Ray! Thank you so much for the compliment and to think I have inspired anyone is a wonderful thing 🙂 I will be right over to read!
In really love when a story for me gets started with a one word inspiration, so thanks.
I’m not so much an infectious disease as just a big ball of snot.
LOL 🙂
This is lovely. You plague my every waking moment… creep in to corrupt my dreams. Loved it.
Thank you, Elia 🙂
This happens almost every night. I wish I could immunize myself from it.
Yes you picked up on that angle! 🙂 When I wrote it I saw it as having two meanings…most are reading simply as a love poem which it is as well.
Strong images
Thank you.
