Love's Reality—Unreal


Your lies much more exciting,

than any truth you never told

 

Stolen moments of pure delight,

the future your cuckold

 

Touch betrays what your eyes still hide,

my dreams you come to steal

 

As your body moves with time divorced,

love’s reality—unreal

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
