Rudi, I love you, Rudi, I LOVE you! <br />Your compliments echoing in my mind, <br />filling my soul, making me feel like a <br />queen, you refuse that I go diving with <br />anybody else – you are too jealous – <br />Juliette calls it possessiveness; logically <br />I’m not that pretty that you have to keep <br />me all to yourself; I know you are irrational, <br />Rudi; you see me prettier than I am - to you <br />I am Aphrodite, your goddess of love - to <br />Juliette I am just me; boring, conventional... <br /> <br />I prefer your biased views to her cool rationality, <br />I love your possessiveness - mother died early, <br />father never showed he cared; when you claim <br />I may not wear a short skirt or low cut dress, it is <br />because you care, your eyes see enchantment <br />where others see none; though nobody sees me <br />as desirable as you do, I play your game, imagining <br />I’m as beautiful as you say; I keep all my affection <br />for you only; though I’m not attractive enough to <br />draw attention – since you irrationally believe <br />I’m so beautiful and you should hide me away; <br />I will do as you say <br /> <br />You believe so much in my charms that I become <br />charming to you and I don’t care for anybody else <br />and they don’t care for me; it doesn’t matter that <br />Juliette calls me an Ugly Duckling – to you I’m a <br />swan, for you I become a queen, regal and proud, <br />head held up high; though I’m invisible to others, <br />I shall remain within your enclosures as proof of <br />my adoration, in appreciation for your vision of <br />me as your voluptuous goddess; I don’t want to <br />go outside and see others blind to the charms <br />you have dreamt up for me <br /> <br />I love being your beautiful Queen for all time; <br />if friends don’t like it, wanting me to feel as <br />ordinary as I am; I willingly say goodbye <br />to them and stay in the dream <br />YOU have created for me!<br /><br />Louise Tredoux<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-dream-you-have-created-for-me/
