I close my eyes and dream And he is a corporate executive Or maybe a hot shot lawyer He holds the door to his Mercedes And whisks me off to dinner Crystal and china, linen napkins and tablecloths Fine wine and a seven course meal Followed by dancing at the newest "in" club Then off to his penthouse for a nightcap And to watch the lights of the city I feel his warm kiss And open my eyes to Ragged jeans and a torn T shirt Dirt smeared across his cheek From planting the rosebush he surprised me with Ten minutes he says Ten minutes to get ready for our payday date Fast food and a movie Parking by the lake in our old pickup truck Watching the stars light up the sky Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...reality |

LOL, this is a good reality check poem. Both images are interesting. Fantasy sure is fun, isn't it? We can go anywhere we want to in our minds. |

You know, Lady?  In light of the simple delights, I think I'll take the lasting of endearment of the second scene rather than the first.  Simplicity is easily enjoyed, and SOMETIMES comfort comes at too high a cost. Enjoyed this! Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since |

Hi Paula, yes but you know something, nothing matters but the sincerity in a man's heart, no amount of money on earth can buy that! Kathleen (Kay) |

In all of my many years so far, Paula... I have found that sincerity and caring are far more important than money. I'd take the guy in the jeans any day Great poem...I loved the duality of the images set upon each other.  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Paula darling girl, my sweet sister this is utterly wonderful I really do love this. Fabulous writing as always. The world of fantasy may be fabulous for some, but reality ahhhhhhhh that is where the dreams can come true. And the dream you live is better by far than the fantasy you imagine. We both know that soooooo well  As always Mushy    To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Ahhh yes that's reality...funny I was teaching proverbs tonight like don't judge a book by it's cover! If you love him and he loves you as you are,it's worth so much more than the fancy meals and furnishings where there may be no love at all, I think...but we're all intitled to dream!Like how you connect the dream to reality, it's a nice poem!
