Perfect creation

Swept with love grand and intence
I barely pause to wonder
If my devotion to romance
Has cast the spell I'm under.

Day after day I dream of love
So beautiful and special
But in the end it's all I have -
My wild imagination...

Emotions running deep enough
But is it just a cover?
Pure fantasy's seductive bluff,
While reality turned sour.

You're just a story I once wrote
And since I keep rewriting
Adding a date, sometimes a quote
"My knight in armor blinding".

Perhaps you're just a mannequin
I placed without intention
On the show of love and I'm a fan
Of my own perfect creation...

How sad and tragic to admit
But this fantasy I'll treasure
For no one else could ever fit,
To this dream no one could measure.

Wow! This is really beautiful.  But then, the perfect creation usually does end up being the real thing... after all, the creation was put there from something you wanted in the first place... which means you'll more than likely get it!    Hmm... I will stop my rambling now    Thanks for sharing!

Pegasus: Thanks you very much for the comment   Btw, I've just noticed your quote
"The woods are lovely dar and deep..." It's my favourite poem!!! We learnt in in highschool - it's the only poem I loved from the entire school program... Oh and that one:
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in the yellow woods
And I, I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference..."
Yep!

James: thank you so much, if only it could come true I'd be the happiest girl in the world!

Tara: Thanks hon, I don't mind your rambling   It's great to read those long comments!
Do you really think that if the fantasy is extra wonderful it will come true? Sometimes a fantasy will remain just it, a fantasy...
Though there's always this part of me that keeps wishing that maybe someday...
Thanks again!

Dawn, thanks for the comment
The thing is that there's someone I know who is like a God to me and I wonder if he really is such or I simply don't know him well and all these emotions are a product of my imagination and belief in fairytales and LOVE stories... That's actually the point of this poem. Thanks for stopping by, I do hope that if not him than someone else will find me eventually

As James said fantasies do come true if
you are patient. But sometimes that's all they
are is a fantasy come true if even for a little while.

Oh this is a good one, you know I understand. this is my favorite part:

You're just a story I once wrote
And since I keep rewriting
Adding a date, sometimes a quote
"My knight in armor blinding".

I wanted to tell you I did not receive an email, but please write again. Hope all is well. Don't be too depressed, apparently it does us no good.

Thanks you Sandra  
I just knew you would understand because I was inspired by your work and thinking of it while writing this piece. I actually really hoped you'd get to read it because it was sort of written for you... you seem to really read my mind.
So thanks for reading it and bringing it back because it's my favourite and it really *drained* me, can't write anything since...
I'll write again.

On the show of love and I'm a fan
Of my own perfect creation...

We all wish for that one person. Someone that is just perfect. To be the way we want in so many different ways. You are not a fan of your own creation, you are just making the world yours. Showing us how you see that one person in your life.

I enjoyed this one very much. And I hope it didnt drain to much out of you to write more beautiful work like this!
