"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." -Oscar Wilde


You only existed
When my conscious delved into that state
Of dreamy hallucination,
But I swear
The taste of your lips lingered
Like the sharp reminder of mint leaves in your teeth.
Even though your fingertips tainted my skin
I always forget how your face appears
Like a ghost fading into the background of my subconscious
Until my eyes shut again.

What's lovely about this poem is that it that while I'm sure it meant something specific to you, to those who read it it could mean an infinite number of things. That's a sign of a great poem! Awesome job!
