Максим Фомичёв-Замилов, поэзия

Our feelings
Is the only thing
That is absolutely real.
Nothing else is.
And nothing else matters.

Our feelings
Is the only meaningful thing
In this world.
My feelings for you,
And your feelings for me.

Can you feel what I feel?
It is a rhetorical question.
I can feel you
At any time of day or night.

I can feel you
Like a glass feels water,
Like a wire feels electricity,
Like a car feels the road.

I can feel you
With every pixel
Of my digital image
On your screen.

I can hear you
Through the noise
Of social media
Drowning in ecstatic cacophony.

I can see you
Through the swarm
Of half-naked bodies
That shamelessly compete for my attention.

I can sense you
Much in the same way
A clock senses time.

Your time is forever.
My time is just a minute.
I am but a minute married to eternity.
I am but a speck in the desert.

Let me bask in your glory.
Let me feel your temptation.
Let me savor your existence.
Let me be a freckle on your cheek.
