She said: <br />'I have made you up <br />and now I believe in you more <br />than my reality <br />and my dependence is complete <br />and perfect <br />because <br />you are my perfect creature <br />and now all around me <br />seems dull <br />real people seem <br />to be without your luster. <br />I can dream you <br />but I cannot live with you <br />marry you, <br />nor can I marry <br />those real <br />pale reflections of you. <br />So I am stuck and I have no one <br />to talk to about this but you. <br /> <br />But what ever you say will be perfect <br />because I have made you in my mind <br />to say only the things <br />which make perfect sense to me. <br /> <br />I'm captured by my own dream-you <br />and unable to un-dream you and seek <br />imperfection as a substitute. <br /> <br />He said: <br />I am only a dream without desires <br />and mind <br />except that which you impart <br />and this makes me feel powerless <br />and even as your perfect dream <br />I am sad <br />because I am not my own perfect self <br />but merely yours-something I sense you sense <br />since you labor to re-dream me often <br />severing me from my own attempt to create <br />a more perfect me <br />in lieu of a more perfect you invent. <br /> <br />I am dream and dreams dilemma. <br />We both are now perfect partners <br />in the conundrum <br />seeking to eek <br />out some solution <br />which does not shatter our dreams <br />upon which we both now have come to depend. <br /> <br />Ah, but just one last time <br />can your dream kiss mine? <br />That only seems fair. <br />doesn't it.?<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreaming-the-perfect-imperfect-dream/
