Repost Rewrite:

        Pretend with me      

I found the Key to Ibsen's plight.
Fantasies, of reunite.
And I can keep you by my side
It's only truth that I would 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.

For I would make the shadows true,
And In that way perform a coup.
And challenge you, to do the same,
And meet me in this Ibsen frame.

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 pasted.

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

If pretend is all one has to do
your room would be a flock to view
butterflies and moths would come
and poets' songs would surely strum

what a time, a party, yes
pretend is something we do best
a better life, why not, we ask?
than some boring, plodding task...

may I pretend along with you?
I like your style, I'd share your view...

Seymour darling boy this is as always superb writing form you, you use of line rhyme and form is exquisite and I utterly utterly love this.
Very very good writing

Pretend in thoughts of desire seek
In fluttering dreams maybe will peek
The possible becomes the hope of true
When pretending soul links with you
Take the breath of what might be
Send it on wings of hearts liberty
Into dreams of sunlit fantasy shore
To anchor dreams ship once more

Perfect as always darling boy you really are an utterly utterly excellent writer


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Pretend dear Sy if you must
but soon all will be too real.
Hoot at Nan's here we come,
the "Real Passions meal deal!"

Poets from Passions will delight
in hearing your sweet repose.
You'll have our attention Sy,
as Nan's shore tickles our toes.

Yikes! A Hallmark response

"... And what does it mean, then to be a poet? It was a long time before I realized that to be a poet means essentially to see, but mark well, to see in such a way that whatever is seen is perceived by the audience just as the poet saw it."

Ibsen

=========================================

your rhymes ... entwine my mind ...
and I dream from a room with a view of you.

Ah! Yes pretend
'tis the beginning, not the end
All joy, desire; pleasure ev'rywhere
All glows to sense, no evil anywhere.

And then, just when
'tis a running in pretend
This boy, on fire; his treasure in air
Is whole; for my soul knows. She is there.

((Seymour))

As I pretend.
