        Pretend with me      

I found the Key to Ibsen's light.
The fiction flight, of reunite.
I'll take you there by my side
It's only the truth I hide.

I've dreamed of you in absentee,
In dull and dreary ennui.
And wish to close that chasm door
And fly above that canyons floor.

I would make a shadow true,
In that way perform a coup.
And challenge you, be with me there,
Like Ibsen in his love affair.

Pretend we are the same of age.
Pretend we walk a common stage.
Go back to meetings of our last
Pretend that time had never past.

Pretend that this is really true
And I will surely be with you.

Oh how very wonderful
I have permission now
to be a child again
and pretend somehow

that I can be where I want
and whom I care to be
so I will close my eyes
and be part of Sy's poetry...
