Imagination

@uootem

imagination of a hopeless romantic, a most useful diversion 
rearranging images and creating new details
until they neatly fit within the boundaries I desire
changing each little moment in this self-imposed dream,
then it is all mine...

watching you
    from the shadows
          cast upon time
              by its passing
or kneeling before your pedestal
    of cold, hard marble
          to entice you to grant me
              your presence.

I want your love for my own... again,
even if its only in my mind
for here I play a waiting game
with thoughts of you driving me insane
taunting fantasies invented to ease the pain
of losing you to reality.
